Pointless host Alexander Armstrong shows off dramatic new lockdown hair

Nothing like his look on Pointless

Presenter Alexander Armstrong has shown off his wild lockdown hair and told fans he’s ‘dodging the scissors’.

The TV host, 50, shared a snap of himself on Instagram at the Classic FM studio looking a lot more rugged than he does when he presents Pointless.

And he revealed that he’s been avoiding getting his hair cut during the pandemic, opting instead to let his salt-and-pepper barnet grow freely.

What did Alexander say?

In the caption of the photo, he wrote: “Another beautiful day at @classicfm, another day of dodging the hair scissors…

“I’m on till 12. Come and join me!”

In the comments, Alexander’s fans couldn’t help commenting on the wilder look.

Some said they preferred it to his more “coiffed” look on Pointless, while others compared it to “fledgling fluff”.

What did his fans think?

One follower said: “Love your hair xx.”

Another reminded him: “You can still shave, treasure.”

A third commented: “I quite prefer the ‘fledgling fluff’ look.”

Don’t look so coiffed as you do on Pointless.

“You almost have a fro,” observed a fourth.

Someone else wrote, “I’m jealous of how good your lockdown hairstyle looks”, adding, “My hair has grey roots that go on for days, finished off with split ends”.

Luckily for Alexander’s fans, he’s on several programmes at the moment.
