Space boffin Professor Brian Cox has fumed at his publishers after they removed a swear word from his upcoming book on black holes.
The physicist and ex-D:Ream musician said he had written the word "s***" in a draft of the new volume on the ultra-dense collapsed stars, only to find it replaced with the word "bad" in a pre-publication proof. He took to social media to lament the censorship and declared swearing funny.
Writing on Twitter, he said: "Proof reading my book on black holes, I noticed that they have removed the word s*** and replaced it with bad. I have changed it back. WTF?"
