Davina McCall' s boyfriend has revealed that he was the one who is behind her brand-new hairstyle.
The 55-year-old TV star unveiled a dramatic new hairstyle as she returned to The Masked Singer over the weekend - and it completely divided fans.
Sporting her new style, Davina debuted a severe fringe as she returned to the celebrity judging panel alongside Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan.
Replacing her signature long bob and middle parting with a blunt fringe, Davina's look was the talk of viewers that tuned in to see this year's disguised contestants.
Some fans said she looked like she'd cut her fringe 'with a knife and fork' while others compared her look to Courteney Cox's appearance in 1997 horror Scream 2 and Strictly host Claudia Winkleman.
