Davina McCall showcases bold new look on The Masked Singer and fans are divided

Davina McCall showed off her bold new hairstyle as she returned to The Masked Singer last night - but fans are divided about her dramatic new look.

The 55-year-old TV mogul showed off a super blunt fringe as she returned to her role as a judge on the popular ITV show alongside Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan.

It appeared that Davina had ditched her middle parting and opted for a blunt fringe instead as many viewers flocked to social media to talk about her brand new look, writes The Mirror.

However, some viewers quipped that she cut her fringe "with a knife and fork" while others said she looked very much like Courteney Cox in the 1997 horror Scream 2 and also Strictly host Claudia Winkleman.

Another added: "Davina giving Scream 2 vibes."

While one penned: "Why does davina mccall look like a claudia winkleman version of the emoji."

But fans of the star weren't pleased that others were slagging off Davina's appearance and rushed to defend her.

One said: "I'm an absolutely sickened by the stupid comments people have made this evening about Davina's appearance."

And another raged: "She is absolutely stunning. Extremely fit and healthy and a lovely person. Keep your nasty, pointless comments to yourselves!"

Another added: "Love scrolling through Twitter seeing everyone’s guesses - but staggered tonight to see so many negative comments about Davina’s appearance - has everyone forgotten #bekind."

While one commented: "Is Davina McCall aging backwards?"

Later on it was revealed that it was Davina's hairdresser boyfriend Michael Douglas who was behind her new look.

On his social media, Michael revealed Davina was actually wearing a wig, which was cut to achieve her bold fringe.
