Paddy McGuiness looked unrecognisable in a throwback snap that had fans in stitches. The Top Gear and Question of Sport presenter sparked nineties nostalgia with a picture of himself with longer, curtained-style curly hair. The presenter and comedian posed in a red and blue shellsuit top in the old photo and wide-legged trousers from the 'baggy' era.
Paddy, 49, poked fun at at the picture as he asked: "Can a picture get more 90’s than this? I can smell the Cool Water! #oldschool #wednesday #ninties #throwback #notpermed #coolwater #curtains #whatadecade."
There was a flood of comments with crying laughing emojis in response. daryl_phillips67 asked him: "Is that Glenn Medeiros?" and Paddy replied with a laughing emoji. And melvyndownes told him: "Awesome Shell Suit look like an extra from Shameless pal."
