SOME things about TV presenter Richard Madeley have hardly changed at all.

As the daytime presenter settles into castle life, his son Jack posted these throwback shots of a young Richard.

Millions of fans fully expect to crack up at the star as he makes a twit of himself.

But his daughter Chloe has started early after seeing the pictures of him in flares. She wrote on Instagram: “I can't look at this without laughing.”

Former I'm A Celebrity winner Scarlett Moffatt was more complimentary, saying: "He hasn't aged in 40 years.

Richard, now 65, still has the same long hair and youthful grin from decades before.

Jack wrote: “Lots of lovely comments about how well Richard is looking in the castle, but do you think he could still rock a pair of flares?"

Looking back to his youth, he reminisced in a 2018 newspaper article: “We jived to The Beatles, Stones and Hendrix but we snogged to The Moody Blues. But there was so much more involved.
