Fans say Sir Bradley Wiggins has ‘morphed into a hottie’ as cycling legend shows off new look on The Chase

SIR BRADLEY WIGGINS showed off a new look as he appeared on the Christmas special of The Chase.

Legendary cyclist Wiggins became synonymous with some striking sideburns during his days as a professional, but his new look has left fans in uproar.

Appearing on ITV‘s The Chase, Wiggins sported a new, more refined style, dropping his traditional sideburns in the process.

And fans took to social media in disbelief at the transformation – though they seem to believe the new look is a keeper.

One user said: “Jeez Bradley Wiggins has morphed into a hottie!!!!”

A second said: “wait bradley wiggins looks so different #thechase.”

A third admitted: “Watching The Chase and my brain just cannot compute that that is Bradley Wiggins????”

A fourth user added: “Sorry lads, but Sir Bradley Wiggins looks nothing like Bradley Wiggins.”

“Most important thing that’s happened this Christmas is the Bradley Wiggins glow up,” proclaimed another.

Another said: “Wait… Hang on… that’s Bradley Wiggins?! Corrrrr he’s looking good! #TheChase.”

In terms of his actual performance, Wiggins was unable to replicate the massive success he had with a bike with Bradley Walsh and Co.

Wiggins racked up £4,000 in the cash-builder and made it to the final for a chance to win £14,000.

However, he and his final team-mates were caught by Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan – though the show still allowed each of their guests to walk away with £1,000 for their respective charities, with Wiggin’s being Mind.

The 42-year-old won a host of accolades during his cycling days, including the infamous Tour de France, three World Championships and five Gold Medals at the Olympics.
