Beat The Chasers fans are all saying the same thing about player’s retro hairdo
BEAT The Chasers viewers were in awe of a player’s retro hairstyle tonight.
The contestant from Wales arrived with a striking barnet for his moment in the spotlight, and left fans seriously impressed.
Gareth sported a feathery mullet, made popular in the 1980s thanks to trendsetters Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Rod Stewart.
And his hair got the thumbs up from viewers, with one writing on Twitter: “Guiness world record for the coolest hair cut ever maybe?”
Another penned: “Gareth’s hair. Business at the front, party at the back.”
A third joked: “Ironic that Gareth looks more Aussie than Issa!!”

The mullet has in fact made a comeback with haridressers saying they are giving people the cut several times a week.
Bowie used the “business at the front, party at the back” style for his alter ego Ziggy Stardust.
Other famous mullets were worn by footie aces Chris Waddle and David Beckham.

It is thought Netflix’s Stranger Things’ bad boy heart-throb Billy — played by Dacre Mongomery — has boosted the profile of the retro trim.
IT worker Gareth took on four chasers and got off to a good start, but was soon caught with just three seconds to go and left empty handed.
