MAFS UK star Duka Cavolli looks completely unrecognisable without his beard for Movember

Married At First Sight UK star Duka Cavolli has shocked fans with his unrecognisable look after shaving his beard off.

The 31-year-old, who was paired with Whitney Hughes in the experiment, shared a video of himself before and after the big shave and explained to fans he was taking part in Movember.

Movember, which takes place in November every year, sees people grow moustaches to raise awareness for men's health issues.

The TikTok clip sees Duka posing with his beard still on his face as he brushes and prunes it with his hands.

He then cups his face and pouts at the camera before giving a giggle and waving his hand in front of the lens.

As his hand moves from the camera, a beardless Duka appears, who also brushes his face, smiles and throws a peace sign up at the camera.

The clip ends with Duka smiling and shaking his head as if he is surprised at his own transformation.

The MAFS star posted the clip, which had Sam Smith's song Unholy playing on top, on TikTok and wrote: "I did the unholy and shaved my beard off for Movember. I feel weird, I feel so naked" followed by a series of laughing face emojis.

Duka also shared a beardless snap of himself on his Instagram page and went into more detail about his Movember fundraising efforts in the caption.

He wrote: "Today marks the 1st of "Movember". My first run today was more difficult than I thought, I pray I have the strength for the other back to back 29 that I have left," followed by a laughing face emoji.

Duka then explained how he had paired up with his MAFS UK cast mate Jordan Emmett-Connelly for the cause.

"But both me and @jordanemmettconnelly will smash this," he wrote. "It's all for a good cause.

"Anything to raise awareness for mental health and cancer awareness. Anything to start a conversation on the matter. If you want to support or donate. Please go into my link tree and go into my Movember page that me and Jordan have set up."

Followers were quick to share their surprise at how different Duka looked without his facial hair.

One said: "This a throw back you look about 20", another added that Duka looked like a "different person".

"I was notttt expecting that but he’s still cute," a third remarked.

Meanwhile, Jordan also posted a selfie to show off his new beardless look on his own Instagram page.

The snap sees Jordan looking straight into the lens as he debuts his beardless face.

As he posted the photograph, Jordan penned in the caption: "Today marks day 1 of Movember

"As of today, myself and Duka have joined forces to go into this month with not only extreme baby faces (I genuinely look about 11, it’s really unsettling) but also with the goal of running 5k every single day."

He added: "Mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer has never been more important – and these donations are never needed more.

"If you are able get behind us on this journey we would appreciate it massively, it’s for a great cause and we are really trying to use his platform for the greater good.

"All runs will be logged on Strava for you to follow and we will be updating you on our journey each day on our story".
