Noel Fielding certainly surprised fans as he debuted a startling new look on The Great British Bake Off.
The 48-year-old comedian, who hosts the Channel 4 show with Matt Lucas, debuted a rather sleek ponytail.
But while Noel has pulled off a string of wacky looks in the past, the Twitter claws were OUT last night (September 28).

As Noel usually wears his short black hair down in the GBBO tent, the new look didn’t go unnoticed.
The presenter debuted the sleek style during the show’s biscuit week.
The look even made his sideburns stand out that much further.

Why is Noel Fielding the image of me dying, going for a sausage rolls on a Sunday morning with my hair scraped back in a pony and last night’s eyeliner? #GBBO

Some viewers admitted that they felt “unsettled” by Noel’s hair.
We guess they haven’t seen some of his previous looks…

However, some viewers LOVED the “sassy” ponytail.
The sassy ponytail is an interesting hair pivot for Noel. I’m taking notes #GBBO

What else happened on Bake Off?
Meanwhile, the Channel 4 series aired its second episode last night.
During biscuit week, the bakers were tasked with making brandy snaps and homemade Jammie Dodgers.
They also had to make an incredible showstopper to win over judges, Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

Amanda had a particularly hard time after her rocking horse creation collapsed in the final minute.
However, Jairzinho became the second baker to be eliminated from the tent.
Following the decision, he said: “I was half expecting that result because if you look at the showstopper compared to everyone else’s, mine was quite basic.”
The Great British Bake Off airs at 8pm every Tuesday night on Channel 4.
