Celeb unrecognisable as he transforms into Anchorman Ron Burgundy for Keith Lemon’s star-studded birthday bash
A FAMOUS anchorman swapped his TV sofa for the KVWN Channel 4 news desk as he transformed into comedy character Ron Burgundy.
The celeb, 61, looked the spit of Will Ferrell's hilarious alter-ego as he hid his famous silver fox locks with a brunette wig and donned a 70s-style suit for Keith Lemon's star-studded 50th birthday party.
Staying classy as he partied with his family, it was in fact Phillip Schofield hidden behind the bushy moustache - looking very different to his usual appearance while hosting This Morning.
Along with his wife Stephanie Lowe and their two daughters Molly and Ruby, he attended Keith Lemon's 50th birthday.
Comedian and TV star Emily Atack was also in attendance, dressing up as Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe.
Stephanie was Private Benjamin for the event, while Molly and Ruby were the Men in Black.
