It’s fair to say that he’s not the most gracious loser we’ve ever seen, and we can’t imagine that staying off the cutting-room floor in most countries, but we have to tip our hats to him for the memorable moment.
Here he is, looking like the picture of reason before he threw away his shot.

Far from offending people, his relatable gesture has made him into a bit of a hero.

We disagree. We could totally imagine Alexander Armstrong leaving like that.
