He has the same rugged look as broadcaster and ex-I’m A Celebrity star Richard — with similar greying hair swept over to one side.

Locals were quick to point out the comparison on social media.

Daniel Martin posted: “Richard Madeley has let himself go.”

Kara Swann said: “Definitely Madeley.”

Williams is aged 45 to 50, 6ft, of medium build with straight grey hair and a beard.

He is among six men and two women who Dorset Police are hunting.

A spokesman said: “If you have information relating to their whereabouts it can be submitted in confidence via the Crimestoppers website".

Richard and wife Judy Finnigan hosted ITV’s This Morning from 1988 to 2001.

In 1994, he was arrested for failing to pay for items including champagne at a Tesco in Didsbury, Gtr Manchester.

He was cleared of all charges after citing lapses of memory.

He and Judy have also hosted their own Channel 4 show, while Richard recently presented ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
