Ah, egos…

In the latest episode of Robot Wars, we saw two teams go head to head with a major age difference.

And as Angela Scanlon announced the winning team (the kiddies won), the grown, well-in-his-40s, man decided to walk off the show.

Talk about throwing a strop.

Now, we'll admit is was a very mild strop, but nonetheless, at least be the bigger man and congratulate the kids?

And of course, Twitter had a few things to say about it:

@MartinBelam would have loved an #Oscars style mix-up where they had to call him back! Punching holes in the wall right now I reckon!

@MartinBelam ah, the male ego, nature's finest delicacy.

@kerryjeanlister he subsequently said it was because he was disgusted with his own team for trying out a new mod to the robot in the match

@MartinBelam @EwanMacKenna I love the way his mates just instantly expect him to react that way. Classic.

@EwanMacKenna @MartinBelam Yep, setting a good example to children of how to be magnanimous in defeat.

@MartinBelam @jodrell maybe he was busting for a pee?
