The University Challenge generally keeps things relatively conservative when it comes to fashion.

There tends to be plenty of warm looking jumpers and chinos, alongside the requisite shirts. Alast night however, a contestant came along who really shook things up for viewers.

The team from King’s College Cambridge was comprised of Lin, Mariani, Smith and Shah. Shah, had many viewers confused as whether they were watching an bunch of intellects show off their giant brains, or Shah introduce his new hip-hip album.

With his vest and gold chains, Shah certainly raised the fashion stakes for the other contestants.

Social media users just couldn’t help themselves but have a laugh at what an unusual sight it was indeed.

That moment when your mate says he'll also wear a leather vest, but turns up in an owl jumper. #universitychallenge pic.twitter.com/RGtCaVEzi3
