Prince William jumped on sofa screaming with his children looking on in horror after Aston Villa were saved from relegation

The Duke of Cambridge has revealed this nerves 'were the worst he's ever known them' as he watched his club Aston Villa secure their Premier League status with a 1-1 draw against West Ham.

Prince William said he was 'jumping off the sofa' as he saw Aston Villa being saved from relegation.

Speaking to the BBC about watching the match, he said: 'My children looked at me in horror as I was jumping off the sofa, screaming my head off.

'It's very good news that as president of the FA that I can hide away until these moments, and I'm not visibly seen because it was one of the most stressful moments of my life, as I imagine every Villa fan felt on that day.
