Wayne Lineker came under fire after a comment he made about Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s new daughter.
Wayne, the younger brother of Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker, was one of thousands to respond the pair’s baby announcement snap on Instagram, following the likes of Stacey Solomon, Gemma Owen and Maura Higgins.
Underneath the sweet image of Molly-Mae, Tommy and the tiny newborn at the hospital, Wayne left fans confused when he penned: “Amazing guys. Congratulations. That’s gonna be one good looking baby,” alongside an orange heart emoji.

Supporters of the reality TV duo, who met on Love Island, were quick to notice Wayne’s words and called him out for being “weird” and “dodgy”.

One Instagram user wrote: “we know you like them young but this is so weird”, while another typed: “I dunno mate seems a bit dodgy that [sic]”.
“hahaha what a f***ing creep,” another declared, with a third adding: “wrong un.”
“Why are you so gross,” one critic asked Wayne directly on Monday.
Some people saw the innocent intent behind the message and came to his defence, with one person stating it’s “normal” to say two good looking people will have a gorgeous baby.

Similar comments read: “no it’s normal to say 2 good looking ppl will have a gorgeous baby u are weird for that” and “You people in the replies are awful. It’s a birth announcement. Have respect.”
Another agreed, writing: “How is saying that the baby will be good looking weird?? Nothing weird about it at all both parents are good looking people it’s a comment to say the baby will inherit the beauty of them both …. that’s all!!”

The picture racked up over 3.2 million likes and more than 36,000 comments. One of those comments was from Jake Paul, who Tommy will fight at the end of February. Paul said “Just in time to watch your dad get knocked out.”
Jake’s jibe left a sour note with fans on Twitter, with one user saying: “jake paul is actually vile for this comment”.
Another slammed the American star: “Honestly at this point I’d pay a lot of money to see Molly Mae V Jake Paul.”
