As a stand-in host for Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain this week, Richard Madeley has been showing off his sharp presenting style – and his decidedly blonde locks.

Far from following his This Morning successor Philip Schofield into 'silver fox' territory, Madeley, 61, has been instead reaching for the peroxide bottle.

And Good Morning Britain viewers haven't, unsurprisingly, failed to notice the veteran presenter's new do.

Richard Madeley on Good Morning Britain today; the veteran presenter - looking very blonde - is currently covering for Piers Morgan

Viewers haven't failed to notice Madeley's highlighted hair and designer stubble, with some mocking his retro style

Some suggested that Madeley had wound back the clock a little too far, with @simongalcock joking on Twitter that 'the 70s had called and would like Richard's hair back'.

Another user, @grace_w_o_o_d_s, said she: 'feels like I've woken up and it's 1999' after spotting Madeley's dye-enhanced locks.

Fans of the Richard and Judy partnership, which reigned supreme over This Morning from 1988 until 2001, were dealt a blow after Madeley revealed that his days presenting with his wife are over.

The presenter's locks have been catching the eyes viewers all week. Pictured: Madeley interviewing his daughter Chloe, left, alongside co-host Ranvir Singh

Madeley told co-host Ravir Singh he'd be happy for Love Island stars Kem Citay and Amber Davies, who are trying to forge out a career as presenters, to take over the reins as the new Richard and Judy.

He said: 'That’s fine with me, we ran our course. We did our time.'

Madeley added: 'She's [Judy] not interested in broadcasting anymore. Richard and Judy are over.'
