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.

Doctor Who star's drama hailed 'best show in a while' is streaming now
Doctor Who star's drama hailed 'best show in a while' is streaming now The three-part BBC series originally aired in 2018 and is now available to stream for free. The drama follows a family torn apart when their mother walks out (Image: BBC ) Channel 4 is now streaming a gripping drama that viewers 'highly recommend.' Originally broadcast on the BBC in 2018, Come Home has made its return to streaming. The limited series, consisting of just three parts, won over audiences with its touching storyline. Penned by Danny Brocklehurst, who is recognised for his work on Netflix's Fool Me Once, the programme explores the challenges of single parenthood. The narrative centres around Greg Farrell, a father of three portrayed by Doctor Who's Christopher Eccleston. His world is turned upside down when his wife of nineteen years, Marie, abruptly leaves their family. Audiences accompany Greg as he seeks to uncover the truth behind Marie's sudden departure, gradually discovering more about the seemingly innocent father's own involvement in her leaving, reports Belfast Live. Irish actress Paula Malcomson plays Marie (Image: Channel 4 ) Article continues below The series was created by the same production company responsible for popular dramas Happy Valley and Ordinary Lies, with BAFTA nominee Andrea Harkin at the helm as director. Eccleston shares the spotlight with Northern Irish actress Paula Malcomson, recently seen in Mayor of Kingstown. Upon its initial release, the three-hour series received glowing reviews from critics, securing an impressive 90% Rotten Tomatoes score based on ten reviews. Casual viewers were equally captivated by the drama. "An absolutely-wonderful start to finish nothing else will occupy your thoughts except the lives of all these well-written beautifully-acted characters," praised an IMDb user.

Viewers 'highly recommend' the drama (Image: Channel 4 ) Another viewer expressed their feelings, saying: "I loved this. The acting was well done portraying the rawness of a family torn apart. It got my heart. Best show I have seen for a while." Subsequently, another fan hailed it an "outstanding drama," before adding: "The story rang true and was both moving and mesmerizing.

Taskmaster 2025 winner reveals plans to return after 'masterpiece' season
Taskmaster season 19 has come to a triumphant end with BBC star Mathew Baynton celebrating an epic victory – and sharing his hopes to return already. The Ghosts actor, 44, won the top spot and a bust of host Greg Davies' head as his reward after undergoing ten weeks of gruelling (and baffling) tasks against his co-stars and fellow comedians. Following Mathew's winning 169 points was comedian Stevie Martin with 154 points (who separately won the final episode). In third place was US star Jason Mantzoukas with 150 points, then Rosie Ramsey with 149 points and, coming in last, we had Greg's almost-wife Fatiha El-Ghorri with a respectable 141 points. 'I'm just really happy. I was having so much fun…' Mat told Metro about his victory ahead of the final episode. He joins an exclusive group of past Taskmaster winners including Ed Gamble, Katherine Ryan, Dara Ó Briain and Mae Martin. And he plans to take full advantage of the chance to return for the spin-off series Champion of Champions which pits previous winners against one another. 'I did start thinking, 'oh, it would be really nice [to win] because winning means a repeat of the experience. The number one thing about winning is thinking, 'Oh, great, I get to go back.' 'I guess the only sadness about getting to go back is that I won't be sat with those guys [the season 19 contestants] because they were so much fun,' he explained. As to when and what combination he returns in remains to be seen. The Horrible Histories actor wowed audiences, sidekick little Alex Horne, his fellow competitors and, most importantly of all, the titular maestro himself, Greg, to secure victory on the Channel 4 reality series. The actor has gone viral among the Taskmaster fandom (and beyond) more than once this season for his iconic behaviour – including one task where he and Alex transform from caterpillars into butterflies. Responding to the fan reaction, he said: 'It is lovely and with that one in particular (as with so many of them) I have to big up the team because they're such amazing artists that they take these videos you have and just do such a brilliant job. '[There's] no time, really, to prepare… I was like, 'oh, let's turn into butterflies'' and 'ten minutes later you're in these costumes filming them, and Chrissy, the makeup artist, made us look so funny. 'The brilliance of it is 10% the contestant and 90% the Taskmaster team, who are just a bunch of geniuses.' He added that 'if people knew how it was made, they'd be so much more in awe of that team just making it incredible.' Whether coming up with perfectly executed task prizes (like his fakeout with the biggest anticlimax) or proving his utmost commitment to the tasks no matter how absurd, the Yonderland star brought the skills needed to climb the ranks. For him, however, the most 'humiliating' moments were when had 'messed up' on a task without even realising. 'There was a task where I thought I had done triumphantly well, but I had inexplicably moved a wheelie bin, disqualifying myself in the process or when I shouted 'everybody' to lead along a sing along of a song that I wrote that took me one word over the word limit,' he explained. The Horrible Histories icon ended the final episode to raucous cheers from the live audience before going in for a passionate snog with his newly-acquired trophy. During the finale, the contestants had to bring in 'the thing most likely to make you do a double-take'; fill a box with yellow sand (with multiple catches of course); strike and hold a pose for 10 whole minutes and set up an unconventional drive-through service. Oh, and shoving a dangling carrot into a bucket without the use of your hands. So, business as usual. His victory comes at the end of a season that has been widely praised by viewers as the best season in a long time, if not ever – something he is thrilled about. 'Taskmaster season 19 is hands down the best season ngl I really don't want it to end,' spaceyeurotrash wrote on X. 'This series has been one of the best in ages,' jessatkinson92 echoed. 'Love this cast dearly, my favourite series,' ellasrhapsody declared. 'S19 has just been such a joy. Every new ep is the greatest episode so far, and the chemistry between the cast is just so excellent. I don't want this series to end,' sulcusandjirehs added. 'Season 19 Taskmaster is a stone cold classic already,' tarteaucitron2x echoed. 'Difficult to believe that this series of Taskmaster is almost over, arguably one of the best of the past three years,' bromley001 reflected. 'I love them so much pls can we have another 10 episodes I'm not ready for it to be over,' fern praised. After his win, many also declared him 'worthy' to take out the title. 'Been a bloody brilliant series of #taskmaster with one of the best lineups ever. Mathew a worthy winner,' Phil posted on X. 'Absolutely brilliant series of #Taskmaster with a perfect winner and great final standings overall,' Kneale commented. 'That's just really gratifying,' Mat said about the widespread praise. 'You can never control how people perceive or receive anything. I prepared to have as much fun as I could, and then try and cover my ears and my eyes and just ignore whatever response there might be to it. 'So it's a huge relief when you dare to take a peek and find that people are saying nice things.' He added that he had initially felt 'slightly worried about feeling self-conscious' but was 'delighted [he] was able to get over it and enjoy it.' Although he joked: 'I still think my career going forward, as long as I haven't destroyed the possibility of people taking me seriously as an actor, will be in fiction characters.' More Trending There will be a 20th season landing on Channel 4 sometime later this year and the line-up has officially been confirmed. Breakthrough comic Ania Magliano, presenter Maisie Adam, Phil Ellis, Inside No, 9 star Reece Shearsmith and actor Sanjeev Bhaskar will join Greg and Alex for the new season.
