Paddy McGuinness looks completely different with long hair as he tries out new style

Paddy McGuinness surprised his fans when he unveiled a new shoulder-length hairstyle after using a very lifelike filter.

The Top Gear host usually rocks a shaved head but decided to switch it up as he tried out the filter in a hilarious picture on Instagram this week.

The 49-year-old was even compared to fitness guru Joe Wicks and Jesus Christ as his brown locks flowed down to his shoulder.

In the picture, he donned a plain white t-shirt as he relaxed on the sofa to take the selfie and show off the long hair from the filter.

Fans rushed to the comment section to make the comparisons to 37-year-old gym fanatic Joe and Jesus.

"I loved your PE during lockdown," Jake Humphrey joked while Matt Baker simply said: "Jesus."

One person joked: "I thought it was Joe Wicks!" while another said: "Joe Wicks as I live and breathe."

Paddy has had a tough year after announcing his split from Christine McGuinness last year.

The former couple had been plagued by split rumours, and in July 2022, they confirmed that they had parted ways.

At the time, a joint statement on their Instagram pages said: "We hadn't planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.

"A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children.

"This was not an easy decision to make but we're moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children.

"We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship."

Christine recently opened up about the former couple's decision to split after 11 years together.

Her three children are autistic and Christine was diagnosed herself during her documentary Paddy and Christine McGuinness: Our Family and Autism.

"I was only 19 when I met Patrick and for the last 15 years my role has been wife and mum," she told viewers in her latest documentary, Unmasking My Autism.

"When I got diagnosed, I set out on a personal mission to figure out who I was, because I’ve played that many different roles in life and not really knowing which part of it was actually me, or who or which one was mostly me.

"So I’m clearing out because I literally had a wardrobe full of clothes to wear how I thought I was supposed to look and you’re not actually supposed to look like anything or anyone other than yourself.

"I’ve also separated with my husband in the process and I’m just, yeah, shedding I suppose, shedding my old identity, trying to figure out what my new one is."
