Sam Smith has disclosed their lifelong ambition to become a… ‘fisher-them’.
The Unholy singer, who just slayed with an amazing Brit Awards performance, stated in 2019 that they were non-binary and has since requested that people use they/them pronouns.
Including fisher-them, which Sam rectified on Wednesday’s episode of The One Show.
The 30-year-old acknowledged to Ronan Keating and Alex Jones that they both like fishing.
The Stay With Me singer continued: ‘I’d love to be a fisher-them.’
When Alex replied: ‘What, like a fly fisherman?’ Sam corrected: ‘I’d be any type of fisher-them.’
They added: ‘I think I would like to, one day, I’d just like to end my days fishing.

‘Like sitting on a bank.’
‘I do it on the sea and I do it on lakes. I’ve never done it alone, someone’s almost taught me,’ Sam said.
While some showered Sam in support on social media, with one person writing: ‘People are more arsed about Sam Smith wearing funny clothes and saying “fisher-them” than they are about LGBT+ people being abused, attacked, and murdered on the daily. Mental,’ others weren’t so impressed.
Piers Morgan, for one, couldn’t keep his outspoken opinions to himself, criticising Sam and saying, ‘Sam Smith has to stop talking.’
However, others rushed to Sam’s defence, with one writing: ‘The fact that this bothers you so much says more about you than it does about Sam Smith.’
Sam’s revelation comes after the Brit Awards received over 100 Ofcom complaints, many of which centred on their Unholy performance.
Sam was unquestionably one of the night’s most talked-about performers, having impressed the audience with their innovative inflated latex sculptural red carpet appearance before closing the event with a passionate version of Unholy with Kim Petras.
While many were taken aback by the show, which included a team of backing dancers, vehicle props on stage, and a passionate kiss between two dancers at the finale, others felt compelled to criticise it.
According to Metro.co.uk, the majority of the 106 complaints submitted by media watchdog Ofcom over this year’s Brit Awards were against Sam’s performance.
The remaining concerns included the usage of foul language throughout the ceremony as well as the amount of alcohol drank during the event.
The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.
