"I know... inappropriate dress code," a third agreed.
"Wardrobe issues can definitely take attention away from the show itself,” read another comment. “Hopefully it gets sorted out quickly so everyone, including her, can feel more at ease."
Kate, however, was quick to turn the moment into a lighthearted one, taking to Instagram with a playful response and making a reference to the Daily Mail article that covered her outfit.

The chef was captured mockingly reading out some hate comments in the video. She also declared in the caption that she would continue dressing like she lives “at the beach.”
“Making light of the frankly INSANE Daily Mail 'article' yesterday after our little business appeared on national TV, and all the stupid comments it sparked,” she wrote in her message.
"Thanks to everyone else for all the love, support and new followers we’ve gained! Ps I will never stop dressing like I live at the beach. #saturdaykitchen #trolls,” she added.
