One seemed to share the same hobby as Ben and posted: "I will also be "bird" watching this weekend! And like you said, looking for "great tits" as well!"

Another quizzed if Ben was using it to impress Kate and wrote: "so tell me about these great tits?' Is that some sort of chat up line ? *laughs like Sid James*"

An eagle-eyed fan copied in Ben's controversial presenter colleague Piers Morgan into his message and quizzed: "Piers, do you think Ben will get away with his "all tits are great tits" jokes this morning on the sofa," while one surmised the banter had "made my morning."

Another simply tagged Ben and wrote: "Hilarious that."

Meanwhile one seemed very irked and posted: "Absolute smut from on there. He should be fired, then jailed. ."
