“Is BBC news reader Shaun Ley keeping his cool by wearing shorts? And if so, were viewers meant to find out?” wrote a Twitter user while sharing the image:

Another Individual wrote “Do you think on the UK’s hottest day of the year that he said ‘I’m Shaun Ley’ or ‘I’m wearing shorts today’?”

There were some who defended the broadcaster. Just like this individual who said it is the same thing that many are doing during online calls, “It’s only what everyone’s been doing for the past year on their zoom calls!”
