Sam Smith was forced to correct Alex Jones after the presenter's blunder misgendered them as they discussed their dream of being a 'fisherthem'.
Following their controversial performance at The Brit Awards last weekend, Sam appeared on The One Show alongside Alex Jones and Ronan Keating. The Unholy singer announced they identified as non-binary back in 2019 and has since been asking people to use they/them pronouns.
Discussing their secret hobby, and potential career idea after they're done with music, Sam said they'd like to become a 'fisher-them' on the BBC show. However, the chart-topper had to correct presenter Alex as she asked whether they would like to be a fly fisherman, reports the Mirror.
Fellow One Show host Ronan asked Sam: "You're a big fan of fishing?" The singer replied: "I do love fishing, yes! Yeah, I'd love to be a fisher-them."
Alex asked them: "What, like a fly fisherman?" Before Sam swiftly corrected her by saying: "I'd be any type of fisher-them. I think I would like to, one day, I'd just like to end my days fishing. Like sitting on a bank."
They added: "I do it on the sea and I do it on lakes. I've never done it alone, someone's almost taught me."
This comes after Sam caused a stir at the Brit Awards after their performance of Unholy alongside Kim Petras, and their red carpet outfit that went viral on social media. The duo performed their chart-topping single live at London's 02 which amassed more than 100 Ofcom complaints.
A spokesperson for Ofcom told MailOnline: "We received 106 complaints about The BRIT Awards on ITV1 on 11 February. The majority of complaints related to Sam Smith’s performance, with the remainder about the use of offensive language and consumption of alcohol."
Sam had already made headlines earlier in the night as they donned their artistic inflatable latex sculptural red carpet look which dominated headlines.
This comes just one week after Sam was slammed for their Grammy performance of the same song. They were accused of a "satanic" performance as the set took on a devil theme, with Sam and Kim dressed in red outfits.
