I Can See Your Voice fans astonished at Jimmy Carr's drastically different appearance

I Can See Your Voice star Jimmy Carr, 48, distracted viewers on Saturday night with his drastically different appearance on the brand new talent game show.

The show, which launched on Saturday night on BBC One and is hosted by Paddy McGuinness, saw two contestants try to work out which out of six mystery singers are good and which were terrible - without actually hearing them sing.

With the help of judges Jimmy plus Alison Hammond, Amanda Holden and Danny Jones, contestants Lee and John, a couple with two children, were introduced to six characters - Rising Star, Teacher, Party King, Queen of Clubs, Pitch Perfect, and Songwriter.

Comedian Jimmy was a fantastic addition to the show with his barbed digs at Danny's tour with Busted alongside his band McFly, and his gentle ribbing of Alison.

But many fans were distracted by his drastically different look after openly undergoing several cosmetic procedures including Botox, new set of veneers, and a hair transplant.

One viewer tweeted: "Surley the biggest thing to guess on #caniseeyourvoice is who's had more work done? Amanda Holden or Jimmy Carr."

Another wrote: "If 'Jimmy Carr's hair' isn't trending in an hour, this entire franchise is a failure."

"What's with Jimmy Carr? He wouldn't even win his own lookalike contest now? #icanseeyourvoice," wondered another.

"Jimmy Carr’s face is so distracting #ICanSeeYourVoice,' wrote a third.

Speaking on Just For Laughs, Jimmy previously confessed to enjoying: “a bit of Botox here and there, nothing too alarming.”

He added: “I’ve had a lot of work done. I got my teeth knocked out and put back in.

"And then I had a hair transplant in the lockdown, which I didn’t particularly need, but what else are you going to do in lockdown?”

Opening up about his Botox indulgences, he said: “I was seeing a guy, getting a bit of Botox, and I was chatting to him and he said, ‘Oh I do Simon Cowell,’ and I went, ‘Yeah I think I better leave’. ‘What have you done . . . he looks like a melted candle’.”

On I Can See Your Voice, contestants Lee and John, a couple with two children, were introduced to six characters - Rising Star, Teacher, Party King, Queen of Clubs, Pitch Perfect, and Songwriter.

All of the mystery singers tried to persuade Lee and John they were good singers through various rounds including first impressions, lip synching, their profiles (with sound distortion on their voices) and a quick fire question and answer round.

At the end of each round, Lee and John would choose a singer to be eliminated, and they would then perform and viewers would find out if they were good - or awful - and would give the performance of their lives either way.

If John and Lee's final remaining singer turned out to be a good one, they would win £10,000, but if they guessed wrongly and were left with a terrible final singer, the singer would win the money instead.

* I Can See Your Voice continues next Saturday at 7:35pm on BBC One
