In the midst of a health crisis, TV presenter Ben Fogle called on the UK to join together in singing Happy Birthday to the Queen on her 94th birthday next week.

But his suggestion has been met with scathing responses on Twitter.

“It's the Queens birthday next Tuesday. Let's throw her a surprise," Fogle wrote.

“We are calling on the whole country to sing Happy Birthday from our windows and doorsteps."

“Let our song bring good cheer not just to Her Majesty but to the whole nation #singforthequeen."

Fogle's tweet has had more than 7,000 likes, but he also faced a barrage of criticism.

“Put a sock (in it) Fogle. Just ask for a knighthood like everyone else," one replied.

“Really misread the room with this one Ben," another said.

“I shall be singing from my window at 9AM on April 21. But I'm not sure Ben Fogle is going to be a fan of the lyrics," Empire magazine journalist Chris Hewitt said.

“Ben Fogle accidentally brings the nation together as Twitter does its thing," another said.

“Or we could all sing Can I Have My Money Back?" Graham Smith, chief executive of Republic which campaigns for an elected head of state, said.

Others called for a Yodel for Fogle instead and pointed out it was no longer a surprise.

The Queen has been staying at Windsor Castle during lockdown with the 98-year-old Duke of Edinburgh.

The head of state said if we “remain united and resolute" in the face of the coronavirus outbreak “we will overcome it".

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
