Britain's Got Talent child star Aiden Davis unrecognisable as he welcomes first child

Britain's Got Talent (BGT) star Aiden Davis has welcomed his first baby and looks completely different from street dancing days.

The was just 12 years old when he featured on BGT back in 2009 and wowed judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan when he performed as a street dancer.

Aiden made it all the way to the finals where he was one of the runners-up behind eventual winners Diversity – and also competed in the same shows as BGT icon Susan Boyle.

Now, 14 years on, the TV star has welcomed a baby with partner Courtney.

On Instagram, Aiden shared a photo of himself holding his daughter in a baby car seat, with Courtney beaming next to him as they posed in a lift.

Courtney shared the original post, writing in the caption: "Welcome to the world Poppy Davis 13/ 04/ 23 you have completed us. Absolute baby bubble."

Aiden simply wrote: "Gang", as he shared the adorable photo, in which he looked very different from BGT days.

While Aiden was then a cheekily smiled pre-teen with a super short buzz cut, he rocked a full head of dark hair and beard in the latest photo, while wearing tracksuits and a hoody.

The performer also shared a sweet snap of his dad beaming while holding Poppy, dressed in a white onesie and pink coat.

Aiden hasn't posted on Instagram since November 2021 but used to share regular photos and videos of himself at the gym- with scenes showing him squatting, lifting, and pushing weights.

Aiden's last post saw him show of his new haircut and full beard, writing in the caption: "So fresh and so clean."

He has previously shown off his collection of tattoos, including a huge skull on his back, and a vibrant, floral design.

Back in his BGT days, Aiden won high praise from the judges – with Amanda stating he “blew her away” with his dance performance.

Head judge Simon gushed at the time: "I think you're better than any dancer on this show, you are super, super, super talented."

More talent is set to be discovered as the latest series of BGT returns this evening, with Bruno Tonioli replacing David Walliams, while Simon, Amanda and Alesha Dixon return, as well as the usual types of varied auditions.

This includes 13-year-old schoolboy magician Cillian O'Connor, 34-year-old singing receptionist Amy Lou and 42-year-old comedian Ichikawa Koikuchi from Japan, who surprises audience members and the judging panel with a series of flatulence tricks.

On new judge Bruno Tonioli, Simon told the Mirror: "Bruno was just a completely natural fit on the show.

"It was quite remarkable. Even though he'd never seen the show before, it was just brilliant.

"It was seamless and as I said before, he's brought some chaos to the show."
