The 42-year-old Warrington native stunned the ladies at the Belles & Beaus salon in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, when he strolled in and requested to be tanned from head to toe.
After indulging himself in the Fake Bake treatment, Mario was so pleased with his golden hue, he decided to step outside into the street in just his Y-fronts and showed off his darkened complexion.

Salon owner Paula Mucklow said she was pleasantly surprised by how nice Mario was in person after watching his nasty side on the reality TV show.
She said: 'He was very lovely and very polite. He chatted to all the girls.
He said he would bring Lisa back when she gets evicted. He said she would love it here because it's all pink and girlie.'
The father-of-two was so pleased with his fake tan, he even purchased a £27 bottle of Fake Bake 'airbrush' self-tan to take home with him.
Mario is just the latest celebrity to drop into Belles & Beaus, who have given beauty treatments to Danielle Lloyd, Bianca Gascoigne and Jade Goody.
Tanning talk: Mario attracts a crowd outside the salon
Mario and girlfriend Lisa Appleton were known on the Channel 4 for taking great pride in their appearance.
They spent hours giving each other exfoliating sessions before applying fake tan for an all over glow to compliment their honed and toned figures.
In his pre-show profile, Mario admitted he spent two hours getting ready for a night out and considers his toned, athletic body to be his best asset.
Mario was evicted in week 5 after going head to head with Rebecca Shiner and has admitted he is missing his girlfriend.
Lisa is up for eviction this week alongside Nicole Cammack and Sara Folino, but bookies have given overwhelming odds for Rex's 19-year-old girlfriend to be evicted.
