Strictly Come Dancing 2019 winner Kelvin Fletcher is keeping himself busy in lockdown with his family... By dyeing his hair platinum BLOND! The former Emmerdale star, who won last year's TV dance competition with Oti Mabuse, has taken to Instagram to document his hair transformation - and the results are... Interesting!

Following in the footsteps of Paddy McGuinness, Kelvin shared his brand new look on Instagram with the caption, 'What do you reckon @mcguinness.paddy #BeenThroughAFewShades.'

Paddy replied to the picture, writing, 'HaHa fantastic pal!!!,' as Vernon Kay hilariously commented, 'Looks like a hairy pint of Guinness 😂💯👍,' and many other fans pleaded with Kelvin to get a purple shampoo or toner on his bonce!

The dad-of-two then shared another post, showing the transition in more detail and revealing that his wife Liz Marsland was the one to wield the bleach. He wrote, 'From brunette to ginger (favourite part) to yellow. Now where’s that toner 💁🏻‍♂️😂.'
