Angela Scanlon, the Irish host of BBC Two’s Robot Wars, put manners on a Twitter troll who had a go at her choice of attire for the show.
Having been asked “Why do you wear that blue boiler suit on Robot Wars? Not very good on the eye at all. Understand the surroundings, but surely there is a better alternative,” Scanlon showed that he has no interest in what randomers on Twitter find “good on the eye” and delivered a suitable smackdown.
“Get a job or a hobby mate,” she wrote. “I’ll wear what I want.”

Unsurprisingly, Twitter then got to work designing other robot-themed outfits that Angela could possibly try out next time she’s filming Robot Wars.

Comedian Aisling Bea also had a helpful suggestion for her pal.
Let me know if you wanna borrow my green traxedo angela, real easy on the eye and if you get killed in the snow, they can easily find you.
