During a recent interview on This Morning, Bob Geldof had to correct Cat Deeley numerous times.

The renowned lead vocalist of the Boomtown Rats, best known for composing Band Aid, joined the show to talk about the song’s 40th anniversary.

When Cat Deeley seemed to receive inaccurate information at every turn, tensions increased.

Deeley began by stating that the Band Aid charity, which was established following the publication of the first Band Aid song and featured a number of well-known celebrity names, had raised ‘£2 million’ through their Live Aid shows.

Deeley swiftly corrected herself, stating, “I was supposed to say £200 million has been raised, but in today’s money.”
Geldof then stepped in, stating that it was now around £480 million.

The singer then inquired whether she had ‘never done this before,’ to which Deeley replied that she was ‘a spring chicken,’ joking that she hadn’t.

The conversation then shifted to an upcoming BBC presentation where viewers will be able to witness video from the first Band Aid hit, ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas.’

Numerous megastars performed on the single, including Bono, George Michael, Paul McCartney, and Sting.

Deeley interrupted Geldof as he was discussing the release later that week to announce it would air on Channel 4.

He interrupted her again, saying, “No, it’s not Channel 4, BBC Four.” Who briefs you? Who conducts your research, Deeley?
“It’s BBC Four for God’s sake.”.

Deeley then looked to see if the dirt would swallow her up, sarcastically holding up her papers and laughing.

Fortunately, the interview continued, with Geldof stating about the upcoming documentary: “That Sunday morning, when a bunch of young, spotty English pop stars who were, more or less, just out of school and had taken over the world’s pop culture ambled up a Ladbroke Grove street in London to make a song their friends had written for the starving people of Ethiopia, they could never have understood the enormous consequences of that day.

“It was, if not exactly the ‘shot that rang around the world,’ it certainly became, however unwittingly, ‘the shout that rang around the world,’ culminating 20 years later in all its unlikely majesty in ultimately forcing the global political process to bend to its focused will at the Gleneagles G8 summit of 2005 and after the Live8 concerts.”
He then commented on the doctor: “These rock stars piling into the control room, babies under arm—it was a Sunday, family day, chipping in, laughing, shouting suggestions, taking the p**s, funny, having fun making history, on top of the world.”

The documentary premieres on Friday on BBC, not Channel Four.
