“Caught the sun... hair changed colour” - Ricky Evans shows off eye-catching new look

Ricky Evans, always up for a joke or a stunt, has caught the attention of his followers on social media with a striking new look. The darter appeared in a photo with a bright red face, while his hair has suddenly turned a striking shade of bleach blonde. Evans opted for a humorous explanation alongside the image.

According to the Englishman, his new appearance is the result of the hot weather. “Caught the sun,” Evans wrote with the photo. He laughed as he pointed to his bright red face, then added with a wink that his "hair changed colour."

His followers, however, were quick to get the joke. Although Evans tried to explain his new hair color in a light-hearted way, it’s clear the darter simply had his hair bleached. That didn’t stop fans from reacting en masse to the photo.

Some played along and pretended to believe the explanation, while others teased him about his eye-catching new hairstyle.

Evans has long been known for his spontaneous and humorous personality, both on and off the oche. He regularly shares funny posts on social media and doesn’t take himself too seriously. This time, too, his message seems mainly intended to give his followers a laugh.

With his striking blonde look, Evans will undoubtedly stand out even more during his next appearances on the darting stage. Whether the new hair color will also bring him an extra bit of luck on the oche remains to be seen in the coming weeks.

Evans is currently not enjoying the best season of his career. The 35-year-old Englishman is only 49th in the world rankings. ‘Rapid Ricky’ also failed to qualify for the World Matchplay, the next major that gets underway this Saturday in Blackpool.
