Paddy McGuinness shows off dramatic lockdown hair transformation
Looks like the Top Gear host has taken inspiration from celeb pals to give himself a new look
Paddy McGuinness has unveiled his new blonde buzz cut after he dyed his hair during his family lockdown.
The TV presenter, renowned for his short dark hair, decided to give himself a transformation with a special DIY dye kit.
And it sounds like Paddy gave it a go himself and he's done a good job.
He uploaded a snap of his new look to Instagram and captioned it, 'Not so Slim Shady! I’ll be posting a video of me actually doing the bleaching soon, along with the products I used from first prep to the finished article!'
And if you wondered what made Paddy take the bold step, he explained, 'I’ve always thought about doing it but never had long enough off work, or the balls, to give it a whirl. Thank you also to the good folks from @bleachlondon I bought a couple of boxes and asked them what to do? It was relatively easy. Vid coming soon! #notsoslimshady #bleachlondon #eminemsdad #isolation #stayhome #trythings #staysafe #washyourhands'
But wife Christine was quick to point out it was all her work. She wrote, 'My magic hands created a beauty.'

And his hair has got positive reaction from his celebrity pals.
