Reacting to the video, tweeps were unimpressed with having beauty influencers as presenters.
“Hire people who work in football or have football knowledge to speak on the sport, as with any other sport. I don’t see influencers doing your rugby shows. Stop using clout as a measure for who to hire,” one local Twitter user wrote.
“Something is wrong there by TV Radio and entertainment. Powers that be are not fit to hold those positions,” wrote another.

In an interview with Tagged, Twiggy said she’d always wanted to try her hand at being a presenter.
“I’ve never been shy about wanting to be a TV presenter, but I just wasn’t aggressive enough in chasing that dream. I entered the MTV VJ search once and I didn’t make it that far. I was really disappointed, which put me off going to any other auditions after that.”
