Jack Vidgen got more than he bargained for this week when he decided to treat himself to a spray tan.
The former reality star, 28, took to his Instagram Stories on Friday to share a less-than-stellar experience at a local salon.
A series of clips began with Jack walking into the salon, explaining that he was about to step into a self-tanning booth.
The second clip showed Jack, post treatment, siting in his car sporting a startled look and a much darker complexion.
'I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but...' he said before gesturing to his face, struggling to find the words to describe is very tanned visage.

After heading back home, Jack went on to explain that he may not have paid as much attention to the instructions as he should have.
'Upon reflection, when it said to stand diagonally, I probably should have looked diagonally. because I've had three sprays to the front,' he said.
'I'm not sure if this is appropriate, so I think I'm going to have a shower,' he added before debating if he should wash it off immediately or wait, as per instructions.
Deciding on the former, the next clip showed Jack stepping into the shower as he said: 'Waste of f***ing $42.'
The shower seemed to have done the trick, with Jack sporting a much more even complexion in the next video.
He said that, given his recent sobriety, he wanted to treat himself to something that did not involve drugs or alcohol.
'So, it's Friday night, I was like, "I don't party any more so I'm not going to be drinking or drugging, so I'm just going to treat myself to a spray tan - f*** that for a joke,' he said.
'You cant really tell in this light, but there's an emphasis in the middle of my face,' he added, before putting on a pair of dark rimmed glasses to distract from his tanning fail.
It comes after the troubled Australia's Got Talent star revealed, last month, that he had entered rehabilitation for the seventh time.
Jack posted a tearful message to announce his health update telling followers he has suffered a relapse and was, once again, fighting addiction.
'Not the video I was hoping to be posting after my Instagram hiatus but here I am, again,' he said in the post.
'This is now my 7th rehab admission. That sentence fills me with so much embarrassment but at the same time I'm trying to tap into the strength that people tell it takes to keep trying.
'This relapse was a really sad one as I feel like lost contact with most of my friends and pushed away the people I loved as I left like there was not much hope for me.
'It fills me with compassion for people who don't have the resources to just check in to a rehab when they need it.
'I'm scared for the future. As I mentioned I have a situation coming up in the next couple months that's been lingering for the last 5 years. Something that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. I've been so terrified but it's time I step into my strength and my truth.'
'So, it's Friday night, I was like, "I don't party any more so I'm not going to be drinking or drugging, so I'm just going to treat myself to a spray tan - f*** that for a joke,' he said, referring to his recent sobriety
'As a victim of sexual abuse I will get through this. Alive. I love you all. Jack x.'
Jack also revealed on Boxing Day that he had been readmitted to a rehabilitation centre.
Jack, who has been in and out of treatment five times in the last few years, emotionally revealed that he spent Christmas in rehab.
The performer rose to fame after winning the fifth season of Australia's Got Talent in 2011.
