Oh no, she better don't!
Last nights Late Late Show was a controversial feast as viewers tried to dissect that Sean Spicers interview and Liam Neeson's comments about sexual harassment in Hollywood. Amongst the hotly debated guests was Ireland's well-known Snapchatter James Kavanagh who appeared on the show to talk about what he was binning in 2018 only to be trolled on Twitter over one very minute detail: his outfit.
If you were planning on knocking around to @JamesKavanagh_’s house, think again – he has no time for unexpected visitors but the #latelate audience disagree... pic.twitter.com/RHqTOJSuzF

Provoked by seeing Jame's - a self-confessed Princess Diana superfan - on screen, some social media users couldn't help but be bitter:
#LateLateShow Are we all in agreement that self-proclaimed snapchat queen @JamesKavanagh_ is a disgrace to gays, reinforcing stereotypes and setting the gay agenda back 100 years #LateLate Why is she even on this show? we pay a license this is unforgivable #Shame on you #rte pic.twitter.com/Ol1GgohGFA

@EmerDuffy1997 "Finally ireland is realising how fab James Kavanagh is"? Most of Ireland don't know who he is. Whoever he is, before he shows himself in public again, he'd want to go and get some fashion advice. Someone should tell what socks are.

Of course, many users came to James's defense and questioned whether some people were qualified to give any fashion advice:

And one user took back their comments after their daughter convinced them otherwise and Jame's took it all in his stride:
I’m gonna have to take my joke about @JamesKavanagh_ sockless shoes and nasty jacket back as my daughter may disown me and doesn’t approve. She’s screaming about what a really great guy he is. Such magnificent shoes! Sorry kids :-)

Fans of Kavanagh's social media will know that he isn't one to let the trolls bring him down. Previous to last night's 'ankle gate', the Snapchatter took a comment from his Instagram and turned it into a garment. We can't wait to see what he does with this one.
Keep slayin' James.
