Funny man Paddy McGuinness has once again floored fans, after sharing a quick clip on social media of him on a routine shopping trip at Tesco...with a twist.
The BBC Top Gear host took to his official Instagram account to share the video, in which he was sporting a virtual filter giving him a thick jet black beard and a shaved to the scalp head.
24 hours after posting, Paddy began joking with fans that he had been to Turkey to 'get work done'.

Birmingham Live reports cheeky comedian Paddy captioned the video: "Nice to see our kid. #doppleganger," strollings through Tesco before taking a selfie with an employee, who sticks a thumb up at the camera. Paddy looked visibly different, after claims that he 'had a bit of work done over Christmas' in Turkey.
He told followers: "I've come on here today to address the absolutely scurrilous and unfounded rumours that I've had a bit of work done over Christmas. Now, yes - I have been to Turkey for a long weekend but absolutely no truth in that I've had a bit of work done.
"This is just a tan and I've had a couple of cans of that prime. There's a lot of fake accounts going round of mine but unless it's this guy, it's not the real deal."
He added: "Ignore the fake accounts. Unless it’s this guy, it’s not real."
Obviously, if you look at the Instagram post for more than a few seconds, you'll realise it was very clearly a filter. In response to his jokey video, Dan wrote: "Must be promoting something, otherwise you’re never on here .. just saying."
"Sorry r kid but that beard is too dark with a complete bald barber," Donna said, while Larissa, wrote: "There’s an imposter among us..." and Charlotte laughed: "Mad as a box of frogs."
