Holidaying with pals, Stephen Webb showed off his newly shaved hair as he ditched his long locks that fans are so used to seeing on him.
Taking his look to an even bigger extreme, Stephen has now dyed his newly shaved hair pink.
Creating an unmissable look, Stephen was surrounded by all of his friends as he lounged in the sunshine and by the swimming pool with his pals.
In another selfie, Stephen could be seen covering up his new hair with a cap as he added the caption: "Right Benidorm! Let's go!"
It is a total transformation from his days on the sofa when he appeared alongside his husband, Daniel Lustig.
Stephen and Daniel were married for a total of six years before splitting early last year.
The couple had recently quit Gogglebox before news of their split was revealed.
Stephen went on to sign up for Celebs Go Dating in the hope of moving on from his six-year marriage.
After a number of dates that didn't go so well he met David, from Guernsey, and the pair hit it off.
In the last episode of Celebs Go Dating he gushed to the experts: "I think there's something special here.

"It has been phenomenal. I've loved every minute of it.
"I didn't think, for a moment, that I was going to be finishing this journey with a hottie on my arm, celebrating with all the other celebs. I am over the moon."
After the series ended they made a go of things, with Stephen travelling from his hometown in Brighton to spend time with David in Guernsey.
Then, shortly after, Stephen learned David had been seeing other men while they were dating and he was on a dating app.
Sources told The Sun, Stephen was shocked and confronted David straight away.
Afterwards, a source told us: "It's definitely over, there's no going back.
"Stephen is not interested and he wasn't a fan of the distance anyway."
Gogglebox stars Stephen and Daniel's relationship timeline
Hairdressing duo Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig got engaged back in 2016 and married two years later.
The couple co-own a hair salon and live in a £575,000 property on Brighton's sought after seafront.
At the time of the engagement, Stephen appeared on Gogglebox alongside his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.
In 2019, Daniel made his Gogglebox debut and was immediately a big hit.
Chris, who is now in a happy relationship with husband Tony, spoke publicly about how the show affected his mental health.
Having relocated to Wales and quit showbiz, Chris said he was racked with anxiety during his time on the programme.
Just last year Daniel and Stephen shocked Gogglebox fans when they announced they were leaving the programme. Daniel had been part of the show since its launch in 2013.
Their departure opened up a new world of opportunity for the duo and it was soon announced that Stephen would take part in Dancing on Ice. But disaster struck and injury ruled him out before the live shows.
There were further gasps of shock in April when we revealed the pair had split up. They vowed to remain friends and looked to be true to their word, sharing a smiley picture the following day with Stephen's mum on the seafront.

Bikini-clad Vogue Williams cosies up to ripped husband Spencer Matthews on a lavish boat during their sun-soaked family holiday in Spain

Vogue Williams cosied up to husband Spencer Matthews as they enjoyed a sun-soaked boat day on Sunday during a lavish Spanish getaway. The Irish presenter, 39, and the former Made In Chelsea star, 37, looked loved-up as they posed on the back of the boat with daughter Gigi, four. Vogue looked incredible in a yellow and blue lemon patterned bikini which she teamed with a matching wrap skirt. Meanwhile shirtless Spencer showed off his ripped physique in a pair of rainbow tiger print swimming shorts. The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, were all smiles during their day out on the ocean before pulling funny faces with their little girl. Vogue was all smiles as she slipped into a white swimsuit and pink baseball cap as she hit the beach in another snap. She shielded from the sun behind a pair of stylish sunglasses and accessorised with a chunky gold necklace as she held their youngest child Otto, three. Another photo showed, Spencer holding Otto upside while posing for a picture. The couple are also parents to son Theodore, six. He wrote: ' Spain photodump'. It comes after Vogue revealed in May that she often feels 'mum guilt' when she is away from her children working. Speaking on The Life of Bryony podcast, she said that like many mums, she has put pressure on herself to 'do and be everything'. 'I suffer from mum guilt all the time', Vogue admitted. 'I feel guilty when I am working, and I feel guilty when I am with my kids. I worry when I spend more time with one of them and not the others. 'I spend a lot of time with Theodore and Gigi because I take them places – so I have to create time to spend with Otto on his own. 'I think as women we put so much pressure on ourselves to be able to do and be everything. Going out there and working should be great for your children to see. 'Whether you're a working mum or staying at home, I think you're always going to feel some level of guilt. When realistically, you can't do it all.' Speculating about why Vogue was putting so much pressure on herself as a parent, host Bryony Gordon, 45, admitted that her attitude may reflect the beliefs of a generation. She said: 'Women of our generation were brought up with that notion – that you can have it all. 'Even the question itself – you see these high-profile women always get asked that question. No one is asking that question of men. 'I don't want to have it all – I don't need to be everything to everyone.' 'Everyone just has to accept that sometimes, laundry is a nightmare, and we might forget to reply to an email or several.' Vogue jokingly responded: 'I have 364 unread WhatsApps – It's terrible!' Both Vogue and Spencer are known for their dedication to health and fitness, especially Spencer, who turned his life around after struggling with alcohol abuse during his time on Made in Chelsea. The star also battled an addiction to steroids, the use resulted in his removal from ITV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015. Spencer is now the founder and Chief Business Officer of CleanCo Non-alcoholic Spirits, which he founded soon after eldest son Theo's birth. His eldest brother is married to Pippa Middleton, and his parents are the Laird and Lady of Glen Affric, a 10,000-acre estate in the Highlands of Scotland. Appearing on an installment of the Mail's 'The Life of Bryony' podcast, Vogue recently admitted she 'thought her life was over' after divorcing Westlife singer Brian McFadden. In a candid conversation with Mail columnist Bryony Gordon, 'relationship girl' Vogue reflected on her love life ahead of turning forty. She remembered feeling as though she had 'ruined her life' in 2017 after her divorce aged 31 from Westlife singer Brian McFadden. 'I am excited at turning forty', Vogue told the podcast. 'When you are 19 or 20, you think that 40-year-olds are really old and battered. Then you actually get there and you think, this is a really nice moment. 'In your thirties, you are still trying to figure stuff out. I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I've ruined my life. I am never going to have kids, I am never going to do what I always wanted to do.

Tim Rice: I would ‘consider' using AI to help write songs

Lyricist Sir Tim Rice has said he would 'consider' using artificial intelligence (AI) to help write songs. The award-winning songwriter, 80, is best known for writing the hit musicals Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar alongside Andrew Lloyd Webber, now Baron Lloyd-Webber. Advertisement Speaking to Jane Mulkerrins on Times Radio, Sir Tim said he has not yet used AI to help write music but is not opposed to it. Sir Tim said: 'I'd certainly consider it. I hadn't ever used it. Perhaps I should. Sir Tim Rice attending Disney's The Lion King European Premiere held in Leicester Square, London (Ian West/PA) 'I was doing a cricket speech at lords, and AI had only just come to the attention of the public, and I asked it to write a quick Shakespeare sonnet on cricket, which was really quite good. 'So, perhaps I should try it for one or two songs. I've never used it seriously.' Advertisement When asked whether he had concerns around the use of AI in the arts, he said: 'If I'm honest, no, I'm not sure. 'Nobody quite knows what it will do. I mean, it might create more jobs. Don't ask me how, but these things could happen. It's a bit like saying in 1979, do you think the mobile phone will cause a lot of hassle? And it's got great benefits but also great disadvantages and I wouldn't begin to know that. Rachel Zegler plays Eva Peron in Jamie Lloyd's new production of Evita at the London Palladium (Jordan Pettitt/PA) 'The other thing is, I'm getting on a bit, and I'm not going to (be here) in 20 years' time. I'm not gonna be too worried about AI unless they can bring me back to life.' The lyricist also praised actress Rachel Zegler for her performance of Eva Peron in the West End production of Evita, a musical which follows the story of Peron as she rises from poverty to become the most powerful woman in Latin America. Advertisement The 24-year-old has made headlines this summer for singing the musical's most popular number, Don't Cry For Me Argentina, from a balcony outside the London Palladium theatre. Directed by Jamie Lloyd, the artistic choice means passers-by are able to be part of the production and witness the live rendition while ticketed audience members watch the number from a screen inside the theatre. Sir Tim said: 'The cast are excellent. Rachel Zegler is a force of nature, I believe is the cliche best applied. 'She sings it beautifully and the idea of having her going out onto the balcony, into the real street, is a work of genius, and also great work of PR and I enjoyed it.' Advertisement

Celebs Go Dating's Mark Labbett strikes up unlikely friendship with glam female co-star 29-years younger than him

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) YOU would hardly think he is her type but Love Islander Olivia Hawkins has struck up an unlikely friendship with Celebs Go Dating co-star Mark Labbett. Despite their 29-year age gap, she says the pair have become close pals since joining the line-up for the E4 show's 14th series which starts tonight.

Olivia, who is 5ft 4in to Mark's 6ft 6in, says: 'Who would have thought Mark 'The Beast' Labbett would be mates with Olivia from Love Island? You couldn't write it. But when he first entered the show, I was his first interaction and we hit it off. 'As soon as he walked in, I fell in love with him. 'He is just the sweetest, kindest . . . he's so tall but he's a teddy bear. He's so thoughtful. He's a puppy rather than a beast. 'There's so many elements to Mark that people will watch and just fall in love with. 'That is the beauty of this show — you get to see people out of their natural habitat. You get to see Mark dating, which you'd never get to see on The Chase.' The quizzer has shed TEN STONE over the past few years, as part of a lifestyle overhaul — and reckons this has made it easier attracting women. Talking about his weight loss, he says: 'It puts a spring in your step, for sure. It helps confidence. As a result, I can chat to just about anyone. 'I had what I called the four-foot rule when at my heaviest, in that no pretty girl would want to let you within four feet of her. It meant you never got really close to pretty people because on the outside looking in, it wasn't good. 'The difference now, compared to over the years . . . you're far more confident of making small talk with people and feeling comfortable in just about anybody's company.' All those hours in the gym have been worth it, then, Mark. EXCL The Chase's Mark Labbett reveals he was forced to quit date after shock health scare DONNA: MY DATE WAS ONE BIG CON COMIC Donna Preston reveals her love life hasn't been a barrel of laughs – she once unwittingly dated a murderer. The Celebrity Big Brother housemate went on a date with a man she had met online and thought it was going well, until he ghosted her. 7 Donna Preston reveals her love life hasn't been a barrel of laughs – she once unwittingly dated a murderer Credit: Channel4 She later discovered why – he had been jailed. Donna said: 'My dating experience has been quite problematic. I went on a date with a murderer. That was the first time I experienced dating apps. I was like, 'Oh, great, I've got a match, let's go on a date with him tonight'. So I ended up meeting him. 'We had a couple of drinks and I couldn't meet him the week after, and then didn't hear from him again. 'He ended up being in the newspaper. 'I opened it and there was his face. He's in prison, he's a murderer. I got a lucky escape.' Not wrong there. PERHAPS NOT LAST NOEL . . ITV may have halted Noel Edmonds' latest comeback but his Kiwi Adventure series could be revived elsewhere. I revealed last week the former Deal Or No Deal host's three-parter about his life in New Zealand, which aired in June, would not be renewed. 7 Noel Edmonds' latest comeback may have been halted by ITV but his Kiwi Adventure series could be revived elsewhere Credit: Instagram But rival streamers may yet take over the show. A TV insider said: 'ITV may have opted against making more series but there's certainly interest from other streamers. 'They believe Noel's show has plenty more to offer and there's every chance it may be resurrected.' His River Haven estate has also been hit by flooding in recent months, forcing him to close his pub, vineyard and wellness centre. Viewers who watched the series – still streaming on ITVX – saw Noel and wife Liz turn their estate into a popular attraction in their community. Hopefully it's not the last we hear from them. FAIERS PLAY IT'S 15 years since sisters Sam and Billie Faiers found fame on Towie, and both have had multiple spin-off series for ITV2. Now they're back on the channel for Sam & Billie: Sister Act, which begins later this month. 7 Sisters Sam and Billie Faiers found fame on Towie 15 years ago Credit: Getty Sam says: 'We live only an hour away from each other, but having six children between us and being super busy, everything we do, we don't see each other that much. But since we've been filming again, we've become closer as sisters.' Billie teased there are highs and lows in the run, adding: 'We film it all, that's what everyone likes. You don't want to hide things, you can't polish everything, there's the bad stuff and the tears.' KERRY'S FAN OF ACTING KERRY KATONA dreams of becoming an actress – but fears that her wild past has made her unemployable. The former Atomic Kitten singer also believes her OnlyFans side hustle hasn't done her any favours when it comes to impressing casting agents. 7 Kerry Katona dreams of becoming an actress – but fears that her wild past has made her unemployable Credit: Channel4 But there's no chance she's going to pack in her X-rated antics on the saucy platform, as she makes too much cash. Kerry says: 'I'm a fantastic actress. That is something I really enjoy, is acting. 'But unfortunately, my name holds me back in the casting world in England. 'I don't even know if it's the OnlyFans, but I'll never give that up as long as I'm making the money I'm making. 'Why would I? 'I'm selling a fantasy. That's all I'm doing. I'll keep doing that before I'm tripping on me nipples . . . which I already am!' Hollywood doesn't know what it is missing.
