Lord Alan Sugar savagely mocks Roman Kemp's 'weird' haircut as he compares it to a 'dead beaver' in unlikely feud - and the presenter has a very apt response

Lord savagely mocked Roman Kemp's haircut as they became embroiled in a very unlikely feud.
The Apprentice boss, 78, kicked off the lighthearted war of words when he shared a post to X, sharing his unfiltered thoughts on Roman's look after watching him on The One Show.
He penned: 'What a weird haircut Roman Kemp has. I know I am a bit old and out of touch with some things, but what is it. @BBCTheOneShow (sic).'
However, Roman didn't shy away from responding to the criticism as he penned: 'I've no idea on the true name Lord Sugar, please feel free to suggest one.'
Lord Sugar then doubled down on his verdict as he brutally replied: 'Dead beaver Davy Crocket,' with Roman responding with a string of laughing face emojis.
Roman took the criticism in his stride as he took to Instagram to share screenshots of Lord Sugar's words, alongside the caption: 'Well... we've peaked. My hairs now been fired (sic).'
The radio presenter also shared a cheeky throwback photograph of Lord Sugar as he seemed to mock the businessman's own choice of hairdos over the decades.
Despite Roman taking the criticism well, his fans flocked to the comments section to voice their support.
Comments included: 'RIP hair. I think it looks great'; 'He only wishes he was as handsome as you at your age';
'I'd take it as a compliment that he's so bothered'; 'OMG HOW RUDE. Nothing wrong with your hair xx.'
Lord Sugar's remarks come after he recently spilled the beans on his future on The Apprentice after claiming 'hard graft has gone from the UK'.
In March, the business magnate revealed he has committed to the beloved BBC show for three more years.
The Amstrad founder, who has been leading the show since 2005, remarked he still has the eye to spot the best and worst candidates to receive his eye-watering prize.
'Listen, when I took the job on of The Apprentice, I was already a multi-millionaire,' he explained to the BBC. 'I didn't do it for the money.'
Previously speaking to MailOnline, Lord Sugar told: 'Work ethic has changed in my lifetime and in my opinion, I think it's getting too relaxed.
'I blame companies like Google for example that have beds, and they allow people to turn up at 11am so they can detox from boozing the night before and lay in a little pod somewhere and then pop out at about 3pm and do their two minutes of genius.
'And then go and have the free lunch and dinner laid on for them. Hard graft has gone in my view.'
The political advisor and author stressed he doesn't intend to change his work ethics or method, after insisting taking a two-hour lunch break wasn't 'in his culture'.
He added: 'Anybody working for me that wants a two-hour lunch break to go to the gym, I'm afraid to say they will have to stay on the treadmill for the rest of the day ... It's not my culture and I might be wrong.'

EXCLUSIVE Pregnant Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing poke fun at THAT cringe Meghan and Harry dance in eyebrow-raising Instagram post filmed inside Buckingham Palace… which sparked a VERY surprising response from officials

Built for Queen Victoria, the Grand Staircase at Buckingham Palace has been traversed by Kings and Queens, Prince and Princesses. But never, one imagines, a twerking pregnant reality star and her radio presenter husband. Former Made In Chelsea favourites Jamie Lang - who now hosts a show on Radio One - and his wife Sophie Habboo, who are expecting their first baby together, cheekily filmed themselves this afternoon recreating Harry and Meghan's by now infamous 'Baby Mama' dance in the heart of the royal residence. It is unclear whether it was a dig at the former royals, who sparked huge debate after the Duchess of Sussex posted a jaw-dropping video on Instagram of them doing the viral craze four years ago in the delivery suite shortly before she gave birth to their daughter, Princess Lilibet, earlier this month. Laing, who posted his video to his own Instagram account with 1.6 million followers after attending a glittering reception at the royal resident to celebrate The King's Trust charity, clearly knew he was bending the rules as he wrote: 'They said we couldn't film in Buckingham Palace.' The clip showed them gyrating on the sweeping red-carpeted and gilded staircase which leads up to the State Rooms, flanked by portraits of members of the Royal Family. While the moment was most definitely a breach in protocol and could have sparked a royal meltdown, palace aides fortunately found the funny side. Its official Instagram account 'theroyalfamily' replied to the post saying: 'We see you' accompanied by a pair of eyes and a wink emojis. The King's Trust entered the conversation in the spirit of the occasion, saying: 'All of our attendees are very well behaved' with the same look and a laughing emoji. Presenter Fearne Cotton, who was also a guest, added: 'You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings.' Another follower posted cheekily: 'When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and meghan couldn't lol'. Another remarked in response to the Royal Family's reaction : 'In a world at times worrying and serious this comment was so needed.' Proof that no offence was taken, a palace aide told the Mail: 'I'm sure it was done in a spirit of fun, and of course aligned to Jamie's wonderful support for The King's Trust Awards- even if it's not something we would greatly encourage every guest to attempt.' Referring to 'theroyalfamily' account's official response, they added most definitely with tongue-in-cheek: 'Proof that from time to time the Royal Family account has a sense of humour too. While the moment was most definitely a breach in protocol and could have sparked a royal meltdown, palace aides fortunately found the funny side Seeing the humourous side fans rushed to the comments as they penned: 'When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and Meghan couldn't lol' Presenter Fearne Cotton, who was also a guest, added: 'You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings' As for Jamie, may we recommend a visit to the Tower of London. Hashtag Winkyfacelolz.' The King's Trust was set up by King Charles when he was Prince of Wales in 1976 to help disadvantaged young people get back into education, work and training. It has since gone on to help more than one million young people and is considered one of the biggest and most effective charities of its kind in the country. Laing, who is a supporter of its work, attended a reception at Buckingham Palace yesterday alongside the likes of George and Amal Clooney to highlight its annual awards for some of the charity's greatest success stories.

The One Show star announces big change to BBC show and viewers will be sad

A famous face on The One Show announced that one segment of the BBC show will be taken off air for the summer A The One Show favourite made an announcement about the BBC programme as they revealed a major segment is set for a summer hiatus. In Wednesday's (June 25) instalment of the popular evening show, Alex Jones and Clara Amfo were joined by Matt Allwright and Nikki Fox to celebrate Watchdog's 40th anniversary. ‌ The episode was dedicated to celebrating Watchdog's milestone, with Matt and Nikki reminiscing over recent triumphs from undercover stings to significant policy shifts and hefty consumer refunds. ‌ As the episode wrapped up, Matt expressed his gratitude: "Happy birthday Watchdog and everybody who has worked on the show, amazing people. Thank you to everyone who has contacted us over the last 40 years because without you it would not mean a thing." Nikki chimed in with appreciation for the audience's input: "We can not do it without your stories.", reports Wales Online. She then dropped the news that her segment would be taking a 'break', announcing: "Watch Dog is going to be taking a break over summer and we are back in September so please keep them coming." The beloved consumer investigation show, first broadcast on BBC1 on July 14th 1985, has saved people millions of pounds as it has taken to task rogue traders, even uncovering fraudulent activity. Despite its end as an independent series in 2020 after 35 years and 1,084 episodes, Watchdog has continued to play a vital role within The One Show, providing essential consumer protection segments. ‌ Throughout the years, Watchdog has unearthed bewildering cases such as phoney banking apps, fake Royal Mail stamps, and fictitious complimentary flights. Ahead of the show, Matt said: "We've had instances of getting tens of £1,000s of pounds back for people. But the ripple effect of that is all those other people who look at that and use it as a negotiating tactic. Whatever we've got back for people, and it's millions of pounds without a shadow of a doubt, you can add a multiplier to that." He added: "I don't like bullies. I don't like people that use the strength of their position to get one over on other people. I think you know that sense of injustice, where you can see somebody who has got your money and doesn't feel the need to do right by you because they're a big company and they'll never see you again. "I feel a sense of pride that once a week you get the chance to turn that on its head and say, 'No, you're not always going to win'." The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer

Glastonbury revellers arrive in their thousands ahead of festival's official opening as Met Office warns fans of humid weather and 26C sun

Thousands of fans have been arriving at Glastonbury today ahead of the festival's official opening – with forecasters warning of humid conditions with a chance of rain. Campers arriving at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset came with their tents, chairs and plenty of alcohol – with some already cracking open some cans while in the queue. The Met Office warned of a mixed bag of sunshine and rain for the festival this week with 'with sunny spells and scattered showers expected throughout the day' today. But it will still feel warm as temperatures are expected to rise over the coming days to reach 24C (75F) by Friday, 25C (77F) on Saturday and 26C (78F) on Sunday. Met Office chief meteorologist Steve Ramsdale said: 'Sunny spells are expected for the rest of Wednesday over Worthy Farm and it's likely to stay dry. Things will feel warm and rather humid, with a maximum temperature of 22C (72F).' Organiser Emily Eavis opened the festival at 8am while standing alongside her father Sir Michael Eavis, 89, who founded the event on his Somerset dairy farm in 1970. They counted down and cheered with other members of the Glastonbury team, with Sir Michael sat in a wheelchair, as the festival opened while a brass band played. This year will see headline performances from British band The 1975, veteran singer Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo. One of the more controversial acts is Irish rap trio Kneecap who have been in the headlines recently after one of their members was charged with a terror offence - although Ms Eavis said in an interview this morning: 'Everyone is welcome here.' A festival goer wearing hair curlers speaks on the phone as she arrives on site The first festival goer enters as the gates open on day one of Glastonbury Festival today Today is one of the busiest day for arrivals at Worthy Farm as the gates open for the festival Those arriving at the festival at Worthy Farm today can expect a mixture of sunshine and rain Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in London in November last year. Last week the 27-year-old, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said the group's performance at the festival, taking place on the West Holts Stage at 4pm on Saturday, is not 'appropriate' and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance. Asked how she had responded to the Prime Minister's comments on Kneecap playing at the festival, Ms Eavis told BBC Breakfast: 'We haven't responded to that. 'At the moment we're just focusing on bringing the best festival to the people that want to come here. We're incredibly lucky that so many people want to come to Glastonbury. It blows us away. We've got millions of people trying to get tickets.' When the reporter pointed out that it was 'quite a thing' for Keir Starmer to comment, she added: 'I know, it is, it is. I mean, there have been a lot of very heated topics this year. But we remain just a platform for many, many artists from all over the world. Everyone is welcome here.' Eavis, 45, also told BBC Radio 6 Music presenter Nick Grimshaw that opening the gates is 'one of my favourite moments of the whole weekend'. She added: 'So much goes into all those areas... all that planning, all that speculation, all the opinions, all the debate, all the outrage, all the love, all the feelings that just are generated every day, all the press, all the noise. 'To be able to actually look everyone in the eye on those gates and bring everyone in, and just think, actually, it's all really just about this. It's all about these people having the best time over the next five days.' Performing in the coveted Sunday tea-time legends slot this year is Sir Rod Stewart who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as some other guests. His performance is to come after the Maggie May singer postponed a string of concerts in the US, due to take place this month, while he recovered from flu. Speaking to BBC News about the performance, he said: 'I just wish they wouldn't call it the tea-time slot. That sounds like pipe and slippers, doesn't it?' He previously said he had persuaded organisers to secure him an hour-and-a-half slot after initially being offered 75 minutes. 'Usually I do well over two hours, so there's still a load of songs we won't be able to do,' he said. 'But we've been working at it. I'm not gonna make any announcements between songs. I'll do one number, shout 'next', and go straight into the next one. I'm going to get in as many songs as I can.' Organiser Ms Eavis has said the festival, which has capacity for 210,000 people, has sold 'a few thousand less tickets' this year in a bid to avoid overcrowding. In an appearance on the Sidetracked podcast, Eavis outlined the changes that have been made to this year's festival and said music area Shangri-La is 'going full trees and green space' which is 'completely the opposite to anything they've done in the past'.

Read More Brit popstar's Glastonbury gig is cancelled and last minute replacement is revealed 'Temperatures will be around 24C, so slightly above average for the time of year, making for a pleasant, if occasionally damp, start to this year's festival.' Tomorrow is expected to be cloudy but dry with temperatures of around 22C. Those setting up tents may find it even trickier than usual, with winds strengthening during the day. 'Thursday evening will see those winds taper off and make for a pleasant evening with some sunshine and cloud helping to keep things warm,' the spokeswoman added. More gusty winds are likely on Friday - the day that the main music acts begin - but there should be some sunny spells and temperatures of around 23C. There is less certainty over the weekend, although high pressure could lead to longer dryer spells and thunderstorms. 'It's also likely that there will be very warm, humid air pushing in from the south at times, potentially bringing brief hot spells and even the risk of isolated thunderstorms,' the spokeswoman added.
