Emmerdale star Jeff Hordley looked completely transformed on today’s instalment of This Morning, as he ditched his usual clean-shaven look.
The actor, who plays Cain Dingle on the ITV soap, looked unrecognisable as he rocked a moustache and some retro tinted shades.
Host Phillip Schofield quizzed the soap star about the transformation, as he admitted to taking advantage of the time afforded by the lockdown.
With zero filming commitments in the coming months, Jeff is free to shave his facial hair in any style he fancies.
Phillip wondered how Jeff went about “growing something as substantial as that moustache”.
Laughing, Jeff replied: “My son says I look like Ned Flanders from The Simpsons.”

Cracking up in laughter, Holly and Phil instructed the editing team to find a picture of Ned Flanders, as they compared the two side-by-side.
The Emmerdale star revealed there was a sentimental reason behind the moustache, as he paid tribute to his late father.
He said: “Basically I was shaving the stubble off. It’s a bit of a homage to my dad who I lost a few years ago.”

Over on Twitter, viewers were floored by the 70s-inspired transformation, as they expressed their shock over Jeff’s stylish new look.
One gushed: “Can’t believe how different Cain looks!”
A second agreed: “Christ almighty when did Cain Dingle become Magnum PI Tom Selleck!”

“Wow what a tash!” added a fourth.
