A third commented: "Has Jamie had a perm? It’s not him is it??"
While a fourth wrote: "Everyone needs to settle down - that’s Jamie," before bizarrely attributing his new look to "ageing".
One added: “This is either a massive mid-life crisis for Jamie or his hair was like this all along and he was straightening it this whole time.
“Glad he’s finally accepted his Dot Cotton style hair, if so! haha.”
