Paddy McGuinness 'mistaken for David Beckham' as he shows off new look

Paddy McGuinness fans are mistaking him for David Beckham after he shared a snap of his latest new look.

The Top Gear host regularly shares updates with his 2m followers on Instagram. And on Wednesday the 49-year-old took to the social media platform to show off a makeover.

In the photo, Paddy can be seen sporting blonde highlights and a voluminous hairstyle. He wears a pastel pink t shirt with sunglasses at the collar, under a mint green blazer with the sleeves rolled up. The top is tucked into some cream chinos, and the look is finished with a bold pink rope belt.

Captioning the post, Paddy said: "Backstage at the Take Me Out 80’s special. The board behind me is where we’d put the pics and bios up of the lads who were about to be thrown into the dating arena! #takemeout #nolikeynolighty #backstage #bts".

Fans were quick to comment on the photo, with many mistaking Paddy for an England footballing legend. Yvonne said: "Oh my word, I’m thinking David Beckham lookalike", while Claire said: "Thought it was David Beckham!"

Others thought he looked like George Michael, with Leah adding: "Club Tropicana called, they want to know if you want a free drink?", while Ruth said: "You're giving me George Michael vibes".

Meanwhile, some followers said Paddy looked like he'd stepped out of 80s show Miami Vice.
