Some slated the Englishman, with one branding it: “Cringe,” while another added: “Some nice unbiased punditry from Walcott on Amazon Prime.”

However, others loved the 37-year-old’s antics. One wrote: “Theo Walcott just hugged a guy on the front row on Amazon Prime as he sang Allez, Allez, Allez, nicked his scarf and swung it round his head. What a lad.”

A second chuckled: “Haha, that was class from Theo Walcott.”
