Made in Chelsea’s Jamie Laing looks unrecognisable after shaving off his signature blond hair as fans compare him to Judge Rinder
The reality star is usually seen with well-coiffed medium length hair
JAMIE Laing has shaven his blond hair, with fans claiming the reality star now resembles Judge Robert Rinder and Eminem.
The Made in Chelsea star announced his bold new style on Instagram, writing: "You have to shave your head at least once in your life.... Right?"
His drastic decision with the clippers split opinion in the comments section, with some fans loving the look while others accused him of spoiling himself.
Sitting on a doorstep with cigarette butts around his feet, Jamie stared directly at the camera from behind a pair of black shades.
Lots of his followers believe Jamie now bears a striking resemblance to Lose Yourself rapper Em and Strictly Come Dancing's Rinder.
One wrote: "Is that judge rinder? 😂 absolute double"
Another posted: "Real Slim Shady"
Praising the new cut, a third said: "Much better Jamie!!!! Love it"
But another vented: "Oh hell no! What are you doing man? Your gorgeous hair is your trademark Jamie! Gggggrrrrrrrr!!!"
The transformation will likely give the star the attention he openly craves, with Jamie admitting back in May that he Googles himself every day.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: "The thing about fame is that you always have to be on your A-game. I’m an energetic and upbeat person most of the time, but if you’re not people go: 'What’s wrong with you, Jamie?' and I go: 'I’m just tired.' But that’s not a bad thing, I love attention.
"I Google myself every day and I’ve found out that people think I’m a bit of a d**k! I’m a huge people pleaser so I want everyone to love me, but it doesn’t really upset me to read those sorts of things because I know deep down I’m not a bad guy."
Jamie also discussed his ideal night out and admitted he isn't as big a party animal as people might think.
"I’m a good partier, but I end up going home at two or three in the morning," he explained. "I don’t really like it when the birds are up and the light’s shining. People party too hard, I’m not that kinda guy.
"My perfect night out would involve going to dinner, probably sushi, with some friends. We’d then go on and have drinks at a members’ club somewhere, which is a heap of fun, and then end up in a nightclub."
