Jean-Claude Juncker's bizarre tousle of female colleague's hair is dividing opinion

On the same day that he was awkwardly confronted by Theresa May for his comments about her Brexit negotiations, the EU commission president Jean-Claude Juncker did something very strange and potentially inappropriate to one of his colleague's hair.

In a short video, the 64-year-old walks up to EU deputy head of protocol, Pernilla Sjölin, and ruffles her hair, for no apparent reason, before giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Everyone seemed a bit confused by what they had just seen and then seconds later the Luxembourgian made an odd shivering motion.

It was a bizarre spectacle, to say the least, and sort of summed up Brexit. Messy, confusing and something that will probably result in us all shivering in a corner.

Footage of Juncker's odd moment soon went viral and nobody quite knew what to make of it.

Other's felt that in the age of #MeToo it was completely inappropriate for Juncker to act like this towards a woman.
