Paddy McGuinness has found another way to keep him entertained during the coronavirus lockdown – switching up his look! The 46-year-old took to his Instagram page to share a series of pictures of his brand new peroxide blonde hairstyle, leaving his fans completely shocked. "Not so Slim Shady! I'll be posting a video of me actually doing the bleaching soon, along with the products I used from first prep to the finished article," he told his followers whilst referring to Eminem's hit song The Real Slim Shady.

Revealing he always wanted to go blonde, Paddy added: "I've always thought about doing it but never had long enough off work, or the balls, to give it a whirl. Thank you also to the good folks from @bleachlondon I bought a couple of boxes and asked them what to do? It was relatively easy." He concluded: "Vid coming soon! #notsoslimshady #bleachlondon #eminemsdad #isolation #stayhome #trythings #staysafe #washyourhands."
