Peter Wright looks unrecognisable as he ditches iconic hairstyle for behind-closed-doors darts tournament

PETER WRIGHT looked completely unrecognisable as he ditched his traditional wild hair style for a much more reserved look.

The 53-year-old two-time world champion is renowned for his multi-coloured mohawk along with his wacky outfits and painted head.

He recently had a purple mohawk during week one of the Premier League Darts.

That was after Wright had shown off a full head of green hair with green beard as he went for a Grinch look during the World Championships over Christmas.

Back on New Year's Day in 2020, he sported a purple mohawk while claiming his first world title.

And his second world triumph came with a red tip and shaved sides that had a painted snake on his head.

The Scot also normally has a snake painted on the side of his head in honour of his favourite drink and nickname - Snakebite.

And he has even worn an elf costume to beat Noel Malicdem in the past.

However, last night he looked completely unrecognisable as he opted for a natural grey look for the behind-closed-doors Players Championship tournament in Wigan.

And it inspired him to produce a 131 checkout with two-tops as he blitzed his way into the quarters with a 6-2 win over Cameron Menzies.

Wright recently revealed that his wife Joanne spends two hours a day sculpting his famous hair, but there was a time when he preferred to keep a low profile.

Back in his one and only appearance at BDO Worlds Darts Championship in 1995, Wright kept it simple with short black hair and no paint.

However, when he returned in 2010, he decided to go for a new look.

And he also made headlines when he decided to go to his daughter's wedding without having his hair done.
