Die-hard fans of Bob The Builder were less than impressed to see what he looked like now after a viral post on Twitter.

The much-loved handyman has been a household name for over 30 years – but now he has changed.

After seeing his modern look, they flocked to Twitter to comment.

One said: “Anyone else a little freaked out by the new Bob the Builder?”

A second said: “Bob’s got a new look, and not everyone is happy about it.”

A third wrote: “Look how they massacred my boy.”

They shared a before and after shot of him.

It was followed by several retweets and replies from furious former viewers, many joking that their childhoods had been ruined.

Another person wrote: “Things like this keep me awake at night.”

Another said bluntly: “Can they fix it? No, they broke it instead.”

Bob the Builder was actually revamped in October 2014 by Mattel for a new series to be aired the next year.

He is taller, more slender and looks younger than the original one from the 90s.

His outfit has changed too as he’s ditched his old denim dungarees too.

The new Bob the Builder still wears a yellow and orange checked shirt and yellow helmet, but pairs this with jeans and a high-vis jacket.
