Vernon Kay (Image: Getty) Vernon Kay has responded to fans who criticised his outfit choice as he attended the Wimbledon men's final. The BBC Radio 2 presenter was among a host of celebrities, including Julia Roberts, Zendaya and Benedict Cumberbatch, who watched the match from the Centre Court stands alongside the Princess of Wales and her daughter Princess Charlotte. The 50 year old star, who was accompanied by his eldest daughter Phoebe, shared a photo on Instagram after the match, which saw Carlos Alcaraz defeat Novak Djokovic in just two hours and 27 minutes.
However, it was Vernon's attire that sparked conversation among his followers, with one asking: "Is that a padded t-shirt? ," followed by a laughing face emoji as well as a tennis and bicep emoji. Addressing the comments about his navy blue T-shirt during his BBC Radio 2 show, Vernon admitted that a "lot of people did comment" on his outfit. He said: "It's a strange morning, it doesn't feel like a Monday morning after the huge weekend of sport.
"Went to a couple of barbecues, got invited to a big barbecue for the match yesterday. I went to Wimbledon, I posted a picture of myself outside Wimbledon outside Center Court and a lot of people did comment on the smedium t-shirt. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
