Gogglebox viewers were left gobsmacked by Daniel Lustig's new look, which they say left him looking 'unrecognisable'.
Daniel, who returned to the show on Friday night alongside his husband Stephen Webb, debuted a new hairstyle to a mixed review from fans.
Daniel was known for his gorgeous curls and closely shaved stubble, but his latest appearance saw him bare faced with a much closer cut.
The Brighton Gogglebox star's new look left fans stunned.

Daniel revealed his new look as he sat on the couch with his husband who was happily discussing his weight loss journey, as reported in The Mirror.
Stephen proudly talked him through his progress, stating that he'd started out at 14 stone and seven pounds before dropping down by almost a stone over the course of a month.
Daniel donned a bright yellow T-shirt and praised his husband, while snacking on camera.
Though fans don't seem to be focusing on Stephen's progress, instead without his glasses, beard and curly locks, Daniel has managed to steal the show.

One viewer wrote: "Why does Daniel look so unrecognisable?"
While a second penned: "Watching Gogglebox and seeing Stephen's husband Daniel - that is one massive change of image! I don't mind the hair cut, but I can't get over his clean shaved look!"
A third said: "Daniel looks like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber".
One fan of the show went so far as to suggest Daniel should find a new hairdresser, tweeting: "Daniel looks like a schoolboy now with his new haircut, missing the curls #Gogglebox #sackyourhairdresser".
Some fans of the show preferred Daniel's new look, saying: "Daniel looking better after dropping the Mick Hucknall look"
Viewers even went as far as to compare Daniel to historical figures, with one saying: "#Gogglebox Daniel looks like Julius Caesar with his new hair"
Daniel debuted his new look on the show after the couple had taken some time off the show to recover from Covid.

Last month Stephen tested positive for the virus, letting fans know in an Instagram post addressed to the crew of the ITV show.
Wearing a grey jumper, baseball cap and stripy socks, he said: "Hello, this is a message to the Gogglebox crew. Good luck filming this week.
"I can't wait to see you Friday. I need a laugh desperately. We can't film this week because I've got Covid."
He went on to show fans the "little room" he'd spent his isolation in, with a "tiny little bed" and "little bathroom".
He captioned the post: "Gogglebox Back this Friday C4 9pm, gutted we won't be back for episode 1. Looking forward to seeing everyone."
