Steve Brookstein Just Tweeted The Dumbest 7/7 Related Tweet Ever And Is Getting Rinsed For It

You might remember Steve Brookstein from 10 or so years ago when he won the X Factor, but then kind of flopped to the point where Simon Cowell brushed him under the carpet like he never even existed.

Well today on the anniversary of the 7/7 attacks, Steve decided to send out a Tweet remembering what that day was like for him all those years ago:

Didn’t really think that one through did he? Naturally Twitter responded with some classic roasting:

@stevebrookstein Fuck me…and you wondered why you struggled to capture the nation's hearts?!

My thoughts go out to the 105,088 people who, 10 years ago today, bought Steve Brookstein's album making it a UK No.1

Wow, can't believe it's already been 10 years since Steve Brookstein was heading home from New York with a No.1 album. Doesn't time fly?

In March 2011, Steve Brookstein was crying into his pillow, wondering where his career went, oblivious to the Fukushima Accident. #moron

but we can all take solace in the fact that come tomorrow morning we will once again have forgotten who Steve Brookstein is.

I’m sure the guy didn’t mean to come off like such a douche but that’s why you’ve really got to check your Tweets before sending them. I’m guessing he doesn’t have an assistant to do that for him these days.
