Emmerdale Bob Hope's new look leaves fans taken aback as he's hurt by Marlon Dingle

Emmerdale viewers were distracted by Bob Hope's new look on tonight's programme.

Friday's edition of the long-running soap explored the fallout of Marlon Dingle's successful pop-up night.

The character, played by Tony Audenshaw, helped the chef out when he offered him the use of his cafe after Charity and Mack weren't sold on his new menu plans.

Marlon was elated at the start of the latest episode after his new menu received rave reviews.

However, Bob was offended when he overheard the chef announce his intention to expand the night at a bigger venue next time.

Marlon tried to make it up to Bob when he said it doesn't mean their partnership is over.

He said: "If I find a bigger venue, it's not going to stop me from doing pop ups here. It just means we won't be exclusive."

Bob accepted Marlon's reasoning, but viewers on Twitter were distracted throughout the scenes as the soap star debuted a new hair style.
