Irish women are known for going overboard on the fake tan on occasion, but none of them have ever overdone it as much as this guy. At least we hope not.

Fake tan is as much a part of the bodybuilding circuit as bulging biceps and heavily protruding veins and it was applied liberally by both male and female contestants at the European version of the Arnold Schwarzenegger Bodybuilding Classic in Madrid at the weekend.

While the fake tan didn’t exactly flatter any of the contestants, one of the male participants got it wrong to a staggering degree, so much so, in fact, that it looks as if his head is that of a white man placed atop a black man’s body.

Arnie was in Madrid himself to judge the competition and we’re not sure what he made of the contestant in question – who it must be said, has a particularly creepy facial expression to go along with his multi-coloured skin – but we dare say his bid for success was ‘terminated’ once the judges caught a sight of him (sorry).
