In February, fans of the show compared his look to the clip-on ponytail famously worn by Only Fools character, Rodney Trotter, played by Nicholas Lyndhurst, 59.

Matthew was on This Morning during that episode to debate whether the Covid vaccine should be mandatory, and whether tea towels should be ironed... but it was his new 'do which stole the show.
