– the Reason I had it on, was that I was talking about Christmas Jumper Day and the upcoming Ugly Sweater Day, officially on Friday. So we think also, that I should have a juletrøje. The story behind it is that we just found a shirt that was in there already, so I have no idea where it originated, says Jes Dorph-Petersen to Ekstra Bladet.
The 59-year-old tv host had even seen what was happening on the jersey. Yet, he chose to take it on – but only in two and a half minutes, so he was back in the regular tv-uniform.
– Yes, it is a pure tilståelsessag, he laughs.
I simply had a shirt on, where the animals mate. I am sorry if someone has felt offended, says Jes Dorph-Petersen with a good dose of irony in his voice.
the Tv host has even posted a few pictures of the shirt out on his Instagram, where he calls the sweater for ‘dirty knit’.

I am glad. At the same time, I am surprised at how much attention the shirt has got. It began already when I was driving home last night, he says.
