Rylan Clark is known for his jet black hair and beard, but he gave fans a glimpse of his natural hair colour, sending them wild.
Despite bursting on the scene with long, blonde hair on The X-Factor over ten years ago, Rylan is naturally a red head, and joked "call me ginger spice", when didn't dye his beard for a day.
On Twitter, the radio 2 presenter shared a selfie as he wore a sports top and sported a lighter beard, writing: "I MIGHT try natural for a bit."
In the same thread, he posted a selfie while wearing a green hoodie, baseball cap and a noticeably lighter beard. Staring confidently into the camera, Rylan had captioned the photo: "Beard shaved... Run out of colour... Ginger for a day."
He shared another pouting photo, writing: "Just call me ginger spice."

Friends and supporters rushed to complement the star, with one person writing: "I really like it; think I might actually prefer it!"

He told The Sun: "I always struggled with how I looked growing up.
"At school I was the little fat ginger kid and used to get picked on. I was quite camp, so the gay thing played its part. I used to start dying my hair at 14."
The Eurovision presenter says he went through a phase of taking botox and fillers "too far".
"Do I sit here and have any regrets? Yes we all have regrets. i would love nothing more than to grow my hair out, stop colouring it, not have to trim my beard...but I created a look that people recognise," he said.
Rylan has been a commentator on the Eurovision semi-finals since 2018, but he joked this year he'll have to be on his best behaviour, as he's on home turf.
The annual song contest will be held in Liverpool in May. The UK will host the event on behalf of Ukraine, which was last year's winning country with its act Kalush Orchestra.
The spectaculars will consist of semi-finals on May 9 and 11, before concluding with its Grand Final, which will be held on May 13.

Asked what he's looking forward to about the final, he said: "My one thing I look forward to is being able to be a punter, and be in a different country where I'm not known.
"The problem is this year it's on home turf – people are gonna know who I am, so I need to be a bit better behaved!"
He continued by expressing excitement, telling Radio Times: "I just can't wait to see everyone, and I'm looking forward to [the official party venue] EuroClub because I do enjoy a night out."
