A slew of critical comments followed on his account:

- This is a disgrace. Get rid of this picture. This is our beautiful flag and we are proud of it - wrote a user who was obviously very bitter.

Some defended Mans, but Zelmerlow decided to remove the photo from social media networks and later apologized.
