The thing about Huw Edwards that absolutely fascinated viewers of the BBC's election special

As the election results poured in on the BBC last night, viewers were focused on one thing: How good Huw Edwards looked.

Huw led the BBC Election coverage for the first time this year, taking over from David Dimbleby.

It marked the first switch-up since 1979, when Margaret Thatcher took power.

But as Huw got behind the wheel to discuss what would later become a historic win, Twitter couldn't stop talking about his fresh cut and slim physique.

One person said: "Regardless of your political views, Huw Edwards looks like the absolutely business. Loving the new haircut."

Another person added: "Huw Edwards haircut is so sharp. What a top guy he is."

A third person said: "Speaking for myself, I'm endorsing the kick a** hair cut of Mr Huw Edwards."

Some viewers even likened the presenter to Robbie Williams.

"Huw Edwards and Robbie Williams have basically converged," one person tweeted.

Another said: "With his quiff on top & shaven sides, Huw Edwards has something of the Robbie Williams about him."

Others joked they may actually be the same person.

One person questioned: "Has anyone seen Huw Edwards and Robbie Williams in the same room?"

Earlier this year, the famous Welshman hit the headlines for his new physique.

The 57-year-old, who was born in Bridgend but grew up in Llanelli, shed a whopping three stone by embracing a new diet and fitness plan.

The broadcaster claims to have started boxing two to three times per week, and cut back on his sugar intake.
