Declan Donnelly has reacted to an article from The Sun newspaper describing him as "dishevelled" and just generally not looking great, by tweeting a little jibe of his own in response.

Dec of Ant and Dec fame was dressed in a tracksuit, baseball cap, and trainers while doing his shop in his local Sainsbury's and was showing off a little stubble, which The Sun has taken as meaning he's having some sort of crisis of appearance.
The Geordie presenter then took to Twitter to have a bit of fun with the tabloid paper and clearly had the support of his fans and some friends in doing so.
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 🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/NvDnJ0NkgU

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker chimed in on the banter.
I hope you’re tweeting this wearing a tie 👔

While BBC Radio presenter Fearne Cotton had some words for the author of the piece.
I’m sure the person who wrote this article resembles Brad Pit in the late 90’s 😐

Heck, even fellow Geordie and former England footballer Paul Gascoigne got involved.
The TV star, 42, has been laying low of late while best pal and on-screen partner Ant McPartlin continues his recovery from his addiction to prescription painkillers.
In just a few weeks, both Dec and Ant are expected to fly out to Australia to prepare for the next series of I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here.
What are the chances of Dec having a shave between now and then?
