Franz Ferdinand singer Alex Kapranos marked his band’s final appearance on the soon-to-be-cancelled British TV show Top Of The Pops by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a swear word, according to reports.

The Scottish art-rockers, who were performing their new single, “Eleanor Put Your Boots On,” recorded the show at the weekend. Apparently frontman Kapranos unveiled a top emblazoned with the words “Franz F–king Ferdinand” just before the group started playing.

It’s understood that bosses at the show have decided to edit any evidence of the offending slogan from the final cut of the program.

The last-ever Top Of The Pops airs in Britain July 30.
