Boris Johnson‘s bad hair day got even worse after he appeared for a Downing Street press briefing with an out-of-control fuzz of blonde this afternoon.
It started when the Prime Minister, 56, looked as though he forgot to put a brush through his shock of blonde hair when leaving Downing Street for the Commons earlier today.
His frizzy, out-of-control tresses formed a halo around his mask-clad face as he made his way to a car.
The PM was lambasted for his questionable hair choice when he appeared live during Prime Minister’s Questions – with some outraged viewers likening him to a ‘deranged Worzel Gummidge’.
Criticism culminated when Mr Johnson appeared on television screens during the Downing Street press briefing this afternoon.
Viewers said the PM, whose hair was flicked over to one side, looked as though he had a bald patch in the middle of his head.
It appears the PM was victim to an unfortunate ‘hat-hair’ incident, sparked after he sported a red beanie during a personal training session earlier this morning.
Mr Johnson was seen braving the freezing conditions to carry out sets of squats and lunges.

Britons flocked to Twitter to share their thoughts on the Prime Minister’s hairstyle – which British stylists dubbed the fashion ‘crime’ of 2020.
Dave wrote: ‘Boris Johnson at his finger-jabbing, hectoring, smug, “no Government could have done more” ridiculous worst today, all the while looking like a deranged Worzel Gummidge.’
Labour MP for Tottenham David Lammy said: ‘My 81-year-old aunt just texted me while watching PMQs: “Can you ask Mr Johnson to comb his hair? Remind him he is in the House of Commons representing the country and the whole world is watching”.’
Ruth Oliver asked: ‘WTF has Boris done to his hair? Has the child learnt how to rub a balloon on his head?’
Another Twitter user simply added: ‘Boris Johnson’s hair is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.’
In December, Mr Johnson apologised for his haircut and insisted he does comb it after he was accused of being too scruffy to represent the country.

The Prime Minister told reporters he ‘does his best’ with his shock of blonde hair.
Mr Johnson was confronted by a reporter whose mother had asked him to beg the PM to ‘brush his hair’ because he is ‘representing the country’.
‘Your hair is always all over the place and she wants to know why,’ the journalist said in the interview with Mr Johnson.
A laughing Mr Johnson replied: ‘I can tell you that I do brush my hair – I’ve got one in my office – please give your mother my very best wishes for Christmas and apologise for my hair. I do my best with it’.
The PM, 56, opted for an unusual mix of work-out gear and knitted garments for his early-morning training session today.
While he looked the part in sporty shorts and running trainers, he teamed them with a red bobble hat and green woolly jumper.
But the sartorial mash-up did nothing to dim his enthusiasm as he was put through his paces by personal trainer Harry Jameson.

Concentration was etched onto his face as he crouched into a squat position, tightly clamping his hands together.
Later during the work-out he did some knee raises, which can help with abdominal strengthening.
Mr Johnson, who was hospitalised with coronavirus, has been dedicating himself to a new regime for the past six months at least.

When he launched the government’s Better Health Strategy in July he said: ‘I’ve always wanted to lose weight for ages and ages.
‘Like, I think, many people I struggle with my weight – go up and down.
‘But since I recovered from coronavirus, I’ve been steadily building up my fitness.
‘I don’t want to make any excessive claims because I’ve only really just started concentrating on it, but I’ve got – I’m at least a stone down.
‘I’m more than a stone down. But when I went into ICU, when I was really ill, I was very, I was way overweight.’
