Former Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr announces new TV role with unrecognisable snap

Former Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr looked unrecognisable in his most recent snap as he revealed his new TV role.

Choreographer and professional dancer, Tom, took to Instagram to announce he will be taking part in Celebrity Mastermind on BBC Two in his first TV deal since leaving the show alongside a backstage selfie.

The former armchair critic looked unrecognisable in the photos, as he sported bleached hair and a long dark beard.

He captioned the post: "Erm…well this should be interesting, How do you lot think I’ll do? Obviously all in the name of my chosen charity@macmillancancer who do incredible work. #CelebrityMastermind"

Fans were quick to congratulate the star on his new gig.

One social media user wrote: "“Congrats man!”

A second added: "Amazing well done Tom."

A third said: "Fair play on Ricky Hatton for your specialist subject man."

While another added: “Imagine this comes on Gogglebox!”

Former Gogglebox star Tom Jr has been keeping his fans up to date with him and his family ever since leaving the show earlier this year.

The 26-year-old cited ‘new opportunities’ that he wants to pursue as his reason for quitting.

He became a fan favourite on the Channel 4 series alongside his mum Julie, dad Tom Senior and brother Shaun, however, he announced in February that he was leaving the show.

The rest of the Malone family are still on the show which has recently returned to our screens for a new series.

Gogglebox is broadcast on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.
