Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden has caused a stir amongst fans following his Sunday Brunch appearance… horrifying in a backwards-facing cap.
Matthew appeared on this weekend’s episode of Sunday Brunch (Sunday, December 3) to talk about his recent Emmerdale exit and promote his stage version of Elf.
However, viewers found themselves more distracted by Matthew’s outfit – which included a backwards-facing baseball cap – than anything he was saying.

As the episode aired, a number of viewers took to social media to beg Matthew to turn his cap around.
“Guy from Emmerdale with his baseball cap on backwards and he’s in his 40’s ffs!” exclaimed one viewer on X.
“Matthew turn your cap around,” said another.
“Can you not wear that cap like that?” entreated a third viewer.
“43 years old and rocking up wearing a backwards baseball cap. I guess self confidence is beating self awareness,” laughed a fourth.

This comes amid a tumultuous week for Matthew. Last week, ITV aired his exit from Emmerdale.
David Metcalfe bid a tearful goodbye from his friends and family in the village after learning that stepson Jacob has been sleeping with his ex, Victoria.
After catching Jacob and Victoria mid kiss, David confronted his son. But things didn’t go well and a further confrontation saw Jacob punch David.
