FORMER PM Tony Blair’s long locks seem to be distracting TV viewers.

The ex-Labour leader, 67, was making a serious point on ITV about Scottish independence — but online wags were more interested in his hair.

Despite the former PM previously sporting a neat, short-haired look, it appears Mr Blair has not yet had time to go and get his locks trimmed.

The ex-Labour boss, who left office in 2007 and handed over to Gordon Brown, showed off his long grey do yesterday during an interview with ITV.

But viewers couldn't keep their faces straight and were left in giggles over the PM's barnet.

His now grey hair now falls to his shoulders, and looks as though it hasn't had a trim in several months.

One compared his “mullet” to late club owner Peter Stringfellow’s hairdo.

Another said: “It’s not Tony Blair, it’s Tony Hair.

"He’s a rock star.”

The ex-Labour leader was speaking to ITV's Paul Brand about devolution and a potential Scottish independence referendum.

But viewers were way more interested in his hair than his political insight.

Many Brits have flocked to hairdressers since they opened in England on April 12.

But others have chosen to keep their locks long and flowing.

Celebrity hair stylist James Johnson told the Daily Mail's FEMAIl that he's a fan of Mr Blair's lockdown locks.

He said: "I think Blair like many of us have experimented with our lockdown growth!

"For men it's especially harder to style out grown hair cuts, but I do think this style does suit Blair."

Times Radio journalist Aasmah Mir said: “I’m sorry but someone is going to have to stage an intervention over Tony Blair’s hair.”

The former PM's new style is a far cry from his 2004 clean-cut image.

Mr Blair said devolution mistakes failed to quash Scottish nationalism.

But he insisted that just because the SNP are on track to win the Scottish elections next month, it should not automatically lead to another referendum.

In an interview with ITV News last night he said: "I’m not sure that even if the SNP wins a majority in the Scottish parliament that it necessarily means that people want to go through the disruption of an independence campaign — I would frankly doubt that."

However, he said it would become increasingly difficult for the prime minister to resist a referendum “over time if opinion looks as though it is fixed, but let’s see if that’s actually the case”.
