Commentator criticised for 'creepy' WAG remarks
A Wimbledon commentator has caused a social media storm after ogling the girlfriend of English cult hero Marcus Willis.
Former English tennis player Andrew Castle, commentating for BBC, took a liking to Jennifer Bate, who was in attendance for her boyfriend's centre court clash with Roger Federer.
Castle introduced Bate to the viewers, but went a little too far according to the reaction on social media.
He explained Bate, a former beauty queen, is a dental surgeon when she's not supporting her boyfriend at Wimbledon.
"It's a pity my dentist doesn't look like that," he said, much to the malign of many fans.
Can someone @bbctennis tell sleazy @AndrewCastle63 to limit his commentary to tennis and not players' girlfriends pic.twitter.com/Ty4yR1LHq9

Andrew Castle is such a patronising, lecherous tosser. #Wimbledon

I love Wimbledon but Andrew Castle is a pig. 'My dentist doesn't look like that'.

@jenheffa @bbctennis @DriverSteph Inappropriate comments by Andrew Castle. And @BBC meant to be clamping down on outdated sexist attitudes??

@BethWright26 Brilliant. I knew there would be someone just you who would comment. Earnest, humourless and probably no fun at all. Regards

The controversy sparked memories of this cameraman who many slammed for 'stalking' Dustin Johnson's fiancee after his US Open triumph:
