Gogglebox star undergoes huge transformation after being compared to Corrie star

Gogglebox' Stephen Webb has shocked fans by completing a surprise transformation.

The hairdresser, from Brighton, was back on screens on Friday alongside husband Daniel Lustig for the Channel 4 shows festive special.

During the bumper special, many viewers took to Twitter to suggest Stephen was channeling Coronation Street legend Ken Barlow, aka William Roache.

His long, silvery locks were also the envy of some but on Saturday the 48-year-old took to Instagram with a video, filmed by is other half, which saw him take a set of hair clippers to his hair for a drastic new look.

So, Stephen is now rocking a new buzzcut and gave no explanation on social media for the change.

But fans had a lot to say.

"OMG.... why?" questioned one.

Another said: "Oh wow, you look fab."

"Makes you look really handsome," a third complimented.

A fourth added: "Wow!!! You look sooo young and handsomer ( is that a word)"

However, another said: "Not the lockdown hair. My heart is broken. I know it will grow back but the long locks looks soo great on you."

Stephen has been a part of Gogglebox since the very first series in 2013.

Daniel didn't join Stephen on the show until 2019 but the pair have been providing some much-needed laughs ever since.

Fans will have to wait a little longer to see Stephen's new look on the small screen as brand new series isn't set to begin until February, a few months after wrapping up filming for 2020.
