Paddy McGuinness told to 'stop it' as he undergoes second shock 'transformation' after rant

Paddy McGuinness has been at it again and fans have jokingly told him to 'stop it'. Earlier this week the Top Gear host had fans fooled when he made an unrecognisable appearance on his own Instagram page.

All wasn't as it seemed as Paddy, 49, posted the video of himself talking to the camera, but edited it with a filter that completely changed his appearance. The TV star's usual look had been ditched as the filter provided him with a brunette quiff and even altered his facial features.

Speaking in the video, Paddy cheekily claimed he had "headed to Turkey over Christmas" but denied he had "had a bit of work done". The dad-of-three then added in a tongue-in-cheek caption: "Ignore the fake accounts. Unless it's this guy, it's not real," and fans rushed to comment, with many comparing him to either David Beckham, Gary Barlow, or a mix of both!

And he clearly had fun the first time round as Paddy has returned to his Instagram page with another 'transformation'. He shared a fresh video of himself - again behind an Instagram filter - as he mooched around a Tesco store.

This time, the former Take Me Out host appeared bald but with a striking dark beard. The cheeky comedian captioned the video: "Nice to see our kid. #doppleganger," due to the fact he was seen strolling around the supermarket before stopping for a selfie with an employee.

Once again, fans were quick to hit the comments section with some still finding the joke just as funny the second time round and others spotting a new lookalike for the Bolton star.

Sorry r kid but that beard is too dark with a complete bald barber." @sandraknowles57 said: "Oh stop paddy." @larissarossiter1993 laughed: "There’s an imposter among us." @imonthatdumbshi commented: "Twins. Nice one for braving the shave Paddy."

@ros.kemp.5 posted: "Oh thought was John Travolta." @willowcat124 echoed: "John Travolta eat your heart out." @jussyrush suggested: "Tyson Fury!" @brian.heslop.399 added: "A thought it was tyson fury."

It comes after Paddy took to the social media platform with a different video in which he ranted about Christmas decorations. Seen sat in his car, he is heard saying: " People who put their Christmas trees and Christmas decorations up in November, I admire their candour. I'm all for it, they're looking forward to Christmas and they're getting in there early, enjoying themselves. More power to 'em.

"But, I've been driving around today. People who leave their Christmas decorations up after Christmas, like now, January... wrong'uns." He then said it was like going for a meal and ordering a lot of food, but then wanting it to be cleared away when you've finished. "That's the same with Christmas. It's January, we're at the end of the first week. Get 'em down," he added.
