Who would have thought you’d see the day when Louis Walsh steps out in a dress and beehive hair and Alan Carr flaunts his body as a body builder?

Strike a pose: Funnyman Alan Carr dressed up for a second year in a row as he channelled body builder Jodie Marsh

The trendy get-up was seen at the Girls Aloud beauty as she launched her shoe collection in London in September.

But unlike Cheryl, Louis looked away from stunning as he grinned and stepped out within the same ensemble.

From a distance the 59-year-old carried off the look, even carrying a clutch bag and wearing earrings to make himself look much more feminine.

How they truly look: The women Aloud beauty and previous glamour model as they actually look. Were you fooled?!

But his cheeky grin was instantly recognisable as he played the prank for this week’s Heat magazine.

And he’s convinced Cheryl will love the transformation after telling her he was going to do it months ago.

He said: ‘I texted Cheryl months ago to claim i used to be going to decorate up as
her, and she or he said, ‘Do it!’

‘I think she’ll howl with laughter when she sees it. Simon
(Cowell) will like it, too, because i feel he secretly likes drag queens.’

And he wasn’t the sole star to don a further search for the publication – funnyman Alan Carr channelled former glamour model Jodie Marsh as he was painted in full brown make-up.

The chat show queen showed off his physique as he posed as though he were the body builder.
