Roman Kemp told "ignore the haters" as he pokes fun at himself after being trolled for wearing a vest at The Brits

Radio presenter Roman Kemp poked fun at himself after he was trolled for wearing a crocheted vest top to The BRIT Awards on Saturday night. Singer Sam Smith and their inflatable black costume wasn't the only outfit that had viewers talking on Saturday night.

The 30-year-old Capital FM presenter took to Instagram to share tweets from viewers of the ceremony as they mocked his wardrobe choice. The look was compared to Onslow from the sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, another screenshot read: "Roman Kemp channeling Bennett from Commando" as well as "Roman Kemp dressed like Wallace at breakfast #wallaceandgromit."

Another viewer asked: "Why does Roman Kemp look like he didn't give his nan enough time to finish knitting his sweater?" On Sunday Roman wrote: "Thought I would wear something bit more fun to the Brits… it has gone down well then."
