THE OFFICIAL Ant and Dec Twitter account has nearly seven million followers – and is usually used by the lads to promote their various shows and give the odd shoutout.

But yesterday Dec had the reins and decided to bring the sarcasm hard when he saw a story about himself in The Sun.

There were photos of him going to the supermarket while sporting a bit of stubble, and The Sun thought he looked “dishevelled”

Dec wasn’t going to take this lying down – or even send a private email to give out. So he tweeted this

He’ll be in formal dress next time he goes to get some milk:

Charming. You give the old razor a rest for a few days and you’re labelled ‘dishevelled’. I’ll be sure to dig out my tux next time I pop to Sainers. D

People were here for the sass

And most people actually liked the stubble

We now have a confirmed dress code for the shops thanks to this debacle

Scarlett Moffatt gave the beard two thumbs up

While Fearne Cotton also went all in

Half the football world were tweeting out support for his look too

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Hopefully this begins a new era of Ant and Dec calling out people on Twitter for everyone’s entertainment

Best keep the beard now, just to spite them.
