Lorraine fans baffled by Louis Smith’s huge hair as he announces retirement from gymnastics
The Olympic gymnast has been likened to Iced Gem snacks and cartoon character Johnny Bravo
EX-STRICTLY star Louis Smith came under fire for his dramatic hair style on Lorraine today.
The Olympic gymnast, 29, announced to host Lorraine Kelly he is retiring from gymnastics to star in the West End - but it was his flamboyant 'do that got people talking.
Louis - who previously dated Lucy Mecklenburgh - had a short cut on the side of his head, but a voluminous bouffant on top.
Viewers were quick to liken his new 'do to an Iced Gem and cartoon character Johnny Bravo.
One tweeted: "Who told Louis Smith that Iced Gem hair cut was acceptable."
Another wrote: "Ooofty has Louis Smith modeled his hair on Johnny Bravo."
A third added: "What is that on Louis Smith's head!
"That hair is vile!"
A separate social media user shared: "Brilliant gymnast, fabulous hair."
However, this is not the first time the athlete has come under fire for his hairstyle.
At the Rio Olympics in 2016 Louis followed the man bun trend by wearing his hair in a topknot.
But this look didn't impress fans much either.
