Pop Idol judge Neil ‘Doctor’ Fox looks totally unrecognisable with grey beard

Pop Idol star Neil ‘Doctor’ Fox looks totally unrecognisable in recent snaps.

The TV judge and music industry pro was spotted at a BAFTA party with a grey beard as he sipped on a cool beer.

Known as Dr Fox, the 60-year-old showed off his dashing new silver fox look at the A-list event.

The event took place at BAFTA’s headquarters in Piccadilly, London.

The show is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary soon and is in talks of a comeback.

Dr Fox recently talked about a possible reunion with The Sun and said: “A Pop Idol reunion is certainly on the cards – where have 20 years gone!

“Be great to get back on the screens with a one off special.

“Gareth Gates was always one of my favourite – he’s an amazing talent”

He also made a cheeky jibe against his former co-star Simon Cowell and said: “I’d like to think I am ageing much better than Cowell.

“At least I haven’t come off my bike!” as he made a nod about his cycling accident.

The singer came sixth in the ITV competition back in 2014 and praises Simon Cowell for helping his career.

Stevi chatted exclusively to showbiz reporter Carly Hacon during a Daily Star Facebook tell-all.

Talking about his thoughts on Simon’s lifestyle and transformation eight years on since he was mentored by him, Stevi said: “Simon’s look, yeah, he’s unrecognisable, isn’t he? I barely recognise him sometimes.

Simon also looks different from his Pop Idol days

“He looks well don’t get me wrong, he’s very slim, he was very puffy-faced a few years ago but he’s kind of slimmed-down now.

“He’s gone through a lot of wars lately and now he looks great. I’d love to meet him again, Simon please get in touch.”

Discussing his surgeries over the years, he continued: “I think that him now, he looks beautiful, I’d say ‘leave it alone, Simon, you look great, you are a legend and the god of X Factor and in my eyes, you gave me a big shot in life.”
