Tim Lovejoy was forced to wear a Liverpool FC kit on Sunday Brunch this morning. The former Soccer Saturday presenter donned the kit following the Red's FA cup victory against Chelsea.
As the show kicked off with co-host and Liverpool FC supporter Simon Rimmer in high spirits. Fellow co-host and Chelsea FC supporter Tim Lovejoy had lost a forfeit and was forced to wear the Liverpool football outfit emblazoned with the word ‘loser’.
Tim’s obvious discomfort made fellow co-host Simon Rimmer even more ecstatic. Shrugging into his new Liverpool FC outfit, Tim said begrudgingly: “I don’t like it, I don’t like any of this, the collar, everything!”

When the celebrity panel applauded Simon, Tim shouted: “Stop clapping him! He didn’t do anything, take a penalty or anything!”
Following on from a conversation about Eurovision and why Tim missed it, a cheeky Simon quipped: “Were you just sitting in a darkened room?”
A sad Tim replied: “That was it yeah. I was contemplating wearing red on the show.”
Tim’s spirits did however improve halfway through the show. He seemed visibly happier when he lost the bright red LCFC kit and changed into a black suit and pebble grey tee-shirt combo.
Guests on today’s show were Angela Scanlon, Dylan Llewellyn, Joe Lycett, Minnie Driver and Will Young. Dishes cooked on the show were spicy beef tartare, haddock with pea, guacamole and potatoes and squidgy white chocolate blondies.
Another garment-related highlight came from Will Young’s onesie. It appeared to be a patterned, all-in-one outfit with bold green, red and black bands.
Star of Derry Girls Dylan Llewellyn who plays James Maguire in the Channel 4 sitcom was interviewed on the famous Sunday Brunch couch. When asked why he thinks Derry Girls is such a hit, the 29-year-old credited writer Lisa McGee.
He said: “I just think it is so beautifully written, so truthful, so funny, it’s a great mix. There’s a great cast and crew as well.”
Fans on Twitter were quick to react to the various outfits showcased on Sunday Brunch. Piling onto Tim’s footie disappointment just before the show aired, Gaz LFC wrote: “Can't wait to see Tim's face!”
Support for Tim came from Michael Russell who said: “I hope Tim has had his jabs having had to wear that tat!”
Will Young’s relaxed costume caused Nade to tweet: “Love Will's outfit, looks extremely comforty & cozy[sic].”
