Chris Hughes has taken to social media to debut a new haircut and fans aren't quite sure what to think.

The former Love Islander revealed his new bald 'do on Instagram earlier this week, where he filmed himself inside a football stadium on set for Rise Of The Footsoldier: Origins.

Chris is set to make his acting debue in the film, which is the fifth in the series, as a football fan. He will co-star alongside footballer Vinnie Jones, as well as actors Keith Allen and Terry Stone.

In the video, Chris told fans, "Here we are, look at this," as he panned around the stadium rubbing his hairless head. He continued, "Boys are in."
