The Heart Scotland breakfast show team delighted fans with their Halloween costumes, dressing as iconic characters from the Shrek franchise for Friday's show (October 30). Presenter Des Clarke appeared as Lord Farquaad, Adele Cunningham wore a purple wig and red dress as the Fairy Godmother, and Grado embraced the role of Shrek.
Fan Reactions to the Costumes
Viewers praised the trio's commitment to their outfits. One person commented: "I knew Grado would make the perfect Shrek. Main character energy." Another fan wrote: "I have been desperately waiting to get home to see this!!! Too funny! Well done guys!" A third added: "Even better than I imagined."
Grado shared a close-up video on social media, grumpily telling the camera: "I've got to go get petrol today." He captioned the post: "Dress up time for @heartscotland breakfast show but keeping it on for the weans coming back from school."
Comparisons to Claudia Winkleman
Some fans suggested Des Clarke's Lord Farquaad look resembled TV personality Claudia Winkleman. One viewer wrote: "Shrek, Fairy Godmother and... Claudia Winkleman?" Another said: "Des Clarke as Claudia Winkleman was a good choice." A third asked: "Why is Claudia Winkleman scaring that gingerbread man?"
With Halloween festivities beginning on October 31, many are waiting to see what other costume ideas celebrities and others try this year.
