The former One Direction er, 30, appeared in the short clip in which the couple showed off their outfits prior to going out for sushi in Manchester. Kate 25, showed off a waistcoat and capri set paired with designer heels and handbag, while Liam sported a baggier designer look.

After Kate detailed her outfit, Liam said, with a deadpan look: ‘Looking good, nice and covered up for once.’ Some fans took issue with the comment, accusing Liam of shaming his girlfriend for her outfit choices. User @mari wrote: ‘“for once” is actually insane.

..’ @Taryn agreed, commenting: ‘I jumped into the comments to see if this was satire and i’m still not sure 😳’ @line posted: ‘”Covered up for once” 😭 GIRL RUN FAST FAST’ @leonor also chimed in, writing: ‘You are beautiful and you should wear anything you want!’ @adap commented: ‘Man keeps showing he’s a misogynist piece of trash over and over and still y’all keep finding excuses for him atp you’re just blind.

’ Another user, @blaken, accused Liam of hypocrisy, writing: ‘Liam you have a song called Strip That Down, make up your mind’ But other fans were more supportive, with user @Nayla writing: ‘Can’t you guys take a joke? seriously don’t blame him like that.�.
