The star has been labelled a “hunk of spunk” in pictures from his youth released as part of a TikTok trend.

Today show host Karl Stefanovic has shared a series of snaps from his “teenage dirtbag” youth as part of a TikTok trend.

The pictures were posted to the breakfast program’s profile on Tuesday morning in a slide show set to Wheatus’ hit 2000 song, Teenage Dirtbag.

The vintage snaps of a fresh-faced Stefanovic, now 48, show him riding a horse, fishing and attending his school formal with a date.
