An Audience Member At The Scottish TV Debates Seems To Be Wearing A Fake Moustache

    The situation is unclear.

    The Scottish TV leader debates – between Scotland's four main political leaders – was pretty dull, but then this happened:

    Is that...is that audience member wearing a fake moustache? That one on the right. Look closer.

    People were immediately confused.

    Sorry. I know there are much more important issues to discuss in #ScotDebates. But is that moustache real?

    Jeremy Vine demanded answers.

    What on earth is going on with this guy’s moustache in the STV #ScotDebates?

    Even the debate hosts, STV, seemed unsure about the situation.

    So we're not sure who #fakemoustacheguy is ... #scotnight #scotdebates #GE2015

    Speculation has already begun about the person behind the disguise.

    @JamieRoss7 Shhh! It's Galloway.

    What the hell, is that guy in disguise? Is it George Galloway trying to get in there? #ScotDebates

    Was someone hiding something?

    @JamieRoss7 @tim2040 should somebody be at work? Has he 'phoned in sick?

    BuzzFeed News hopes this explanation is true.

    Hey @JamieRoss7. Check under that hat and tache. That might be #AlexSalmondsSoleroLady

    The debate isn't over yet, but Amy Macdonald already called it for the #fakemoustacheguy.

    Please can we just wrap this up and hear from #fakemoustacheguy it's what the people want. #ScotDebates

    Stick with us – we will give you the answers as they unfold.

    I am going to interview the #fakemoustacheguy or die trying. #ScotDebates

    UPDATE: The moustache has been removed during the debate.

    It appears to have been forcibly removed by STV staff, according to a man claiming to be the mysterious mustachioed audience member.

    BREAKING: STV staff made @jackmcafee's dad take off his moustache. #ScotDebates
