Former boxing champion Ricky Hatton has unveiled a dramatic new look, sporting a freshly shaved head at a charity event in Blackpool.
The 46-year-old boxing legend was spotted at 'Blowfest' where he posed for pictures with Jade Slusarczyk, a former Sky Sports walk-on girl and snooker legend Jimmy White's girlfriend.
Hatton shared the image on Instagram, showing himself with his new skinhead style, sunglasses tucked into his black t-shirt and a pint of Guinness in hand.
"Brilliant couple of days in Blackpool at #blowfest @vivablackpool Good to see you again @jade_slu Brilliant time & laugh. X," the former world champion wrote in his caption.

The boxing great revealed he had shaved his head to support the Brain House Children's Hospice, which provides specialist care for children with complex needs and life-limiting conditions.
"Head shaved for @brianhousech. won't be keeping the skinhead," Hatton explained on social media.
"But it raised a right few quid for charity. So I'm more than happy to stomach it. (till it grows back)."
A friend of Hatton's told The Sun: "There were a few people who had to do a double take when they saw him as he looked a bit different."
"But the new style really suits him and he's looking and feeling great."
The former boxer had posted about his charitable intentions just two days before revealing the new look.

Slusarczyk, 39, is the partner of snooker legend Jimmy White and a former Miss Blackpool.
She has been credited with helping White turn his life around after years of partying and gambling.
The 62-year-old snooker icon has previously described meeting Slusarczyk as a "miracle", telling The Sun: "It's a miracle she fancies me. But she doesn't care about the age difference, so why should I?"
White, known as 'the Whirlwind', swapped his wild lifestyle for "pamper nights in" after falling for Slusarczyk in 2018.
A source said: "Ricky's loving life, having fun and just enjoying himself"
During the Blackpool event, Hatton even took to the stage to sing Oasis's "Don't Look Back in Anger".
Hatton enjoyed a stellar boxing career from 1997 to 2012, amassing an impressive 45-3 record across 48 bouts.
He claimed the WBU light-welterweight title in 2001 and defended it a record 15 times over three years.
The Manchester fighter later won the WBA welterweight title in 2006 by defeating Luis Collazo.
