SUPERMARKET Sweep’s Rylan Clark-Neal looked totally different in a throwback photo, with many fans unable to pick out the star.
The 30-year-old TV favourite took to his social media account earlier today to share a vintage snap of himself from his days at theatre school.
The X Factor alumni attended Rhodes Theatre School, and they were the ones to initially dig out the group snap from the archives.
They tweeted: “#RhodesTheatreSchool #ThrowbackThursday today takes us back to the good old days with the gorgeous @Rylan
“Way before #XFactorand #SupermarketSweep dreams! Looking amazing and sharing a joke with his singing teacher and friends”.
They added the hashtags: “#BackInTheDay #DreamBig #RylanClark #SoProud”.
Rylan retweeted, adding the simple caption: “Jesus” alongside the crying with laughter emoji.
The photo shows several students posing for a photo together, with Rylan dressed in a black jumper, with his natural ginger hair on show.
His followers were floored by the throwback, with one writing: “Awwww you look so cute Rylan”.
Another added: “Wow must have had a massive growth spurt soon after this pic”.
Some struggled to identify him, asking: “Which one are you, sir?”
Another wrote: “Which one?????”
This is not the only major transformation that Rylan has had over the years, with the star now unrecognisable from his appearance in the 2012 series of X Factor.
The then-singer auditioned with platinum blonde hair, which he wore long and straight around his shoulders.
He transformed his look ahead of the live shows, where he cut his hair off and dyed it black – giving us the trademark Rylan look that we all know and love today.
