YouTuber Zoe Sugg has had her fair share of backlash in the last few years, but this is arguably the most bizarre twist in her story yet.



The 25-year-old has faced criticism after sharing a photo she took of a “random man and his dog” on the beach, not realising that the ‘random man’ is actually Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour.

Talk about it being a small world, eh?

Captioning the original post with: “I took this photo of a random man & his dog & other photos on the beach at sunset today! Click the link in my bio to give it a read. :)”, the fans couldn’t help but share their disdain for Zoe in the comments.

One wrote: “Hahahahaha… Humanity will talk about this "random man” and his music for the next 500 years..“

Others added: "I too have seen this "Random Man” on the beach and shook his hand in fact right there and then. #legend #myhero

“Ah she didn’t even know who was right in front of her and I can not even get to see him, not even on his European Tour because he doesn’t come to Turkey… This is unfair and so sad…

"Wish I could meet this type of #randomman on the beach too. She had in front of her the best guitarist of all time, David Gilmour, and she didn’t even know that.

"That’s great of you to not know who David Gilmour is. Uncultured.”

Ouch.

In Zoe’s defense, the majority of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits are older than the vlogging sensation and David’s wife, Polly Samson, leaped to her defense on Twitter, writing: “To be fair #randomman had no idea who the #randomyoungthings were either. @Zoella LOVELY pic btw.”
