Fans took to Twitter in their droves to create hilarious memes with many comparing him to Ross's epic tan fail on Friends and others joking that his face was on ad for woodstain.

One wrote: "When asked for comment on his odd complexion, Hughie replied: 'I am Groot'." #DancingWiththeStars."

Another said: "#DancingWiththeStars #Hughie... what tanning brand is being used backstage? I need my decking done."

A third added: "Is Hughie dancing the #Tango tonight? @DWTSIRL."

At one point, host and former Westlifef star Nicky Byrne addressed the issue saying: “Hughie, you are trending on Twitter… we don’t know why.”

Many questioned why the reality TV star was allowed to go out on the dancefloor with so much tan on his face but insiders told Hughie was determined to go with his bronzed look.

An insider revealed: “As hard as we tried Hughie had a solid grasp on his bronzer and there was no releasing it’.”

And the source said lacquered Hughie told colleagues: “You can’t have enough tan.”
