TV’s Nicky Campbell has had to deny dyeing his hair after looking particularly youthful in a new picture on social media.
The presenter, who is hosting ITV documentary Manhunt: The Raoul Moat Story host, posted a photo of himself on Twitter and told fans it was “haircut Sunday”.
“Haircut Sunday and #longlostfamily filming today!” the 59 year old wrote alongside the snap, which showed him standing near a brick wall.

“Great seeing the team. No hugs. Lucky team 🙂 #lovemyjob.”
In the replies, one Twitter user joked that Nicky seemed to have applied “plenty of squid ink” to his new ‘do.

“Plenty of squid ink there, fella,” they told him cheekily, and he replied: “Not a drop.”

Someone else observed, “Looking very young, Nicky” before enquiring: “What’s your secret?”
Another asked: “Bit of a rinse, Nicky?”
Just the light
He denied it again and the user shared a side-by-side shot of another picture of Nicky with his usual grey-tinged hair. They conceded that it “must be the light”.

Nicky himself came to the same conclusion. He tweeted back sincerely: “I have no explanation – it must be the light. I give you my word. My word is my bond.”
I have no explanation – it must be the light. I give you my word. My word is my bond.
