Shelton risked the wrath of supporters in the UK after his controversial comments went viral across the pond.

The 22-year-old was asked by the BBC for his “ruthless” takes on British food and life in London.

Things started well for the Georgia-born star as he rated a cup of tea a 9/10 and fish and chips a 7.5/10.

But he slammed the classic full English breakfast that consists of sausages, bacon, hash browns, beans, tomatoes, black pudding and toast.

Shelton gave it a 0/10 and did not hold back on his thoughts.

He continued: “English breakfast is garbage.

“Who puts beans in? What are we doing it is terrible?”

Shelton’s remarks have caused uproar at Wimbledon, with one fan saying: “Resounding boos for the rest of the tournament is the only way to deal with this sacrilege.”

A second added: “That breakfast comment is disrespectful.”

Another reacted: “He has no idea what good food is.”

But fans from the US backed him up, replying: “I love this guy. At least he’s honest!”

Shelton also slammed British roads for being too congested and not wide enough.

Overall, he gave London a 7/10 and it was only knocked down due to traffic problems.

Meanwhile, the BBC have apologised to Shelton after a top commentator referred to his girlfriend Trinity Rodman as “Tiffany” during his previous match against Lorenzo Sonego.
