Coronation Street's Hayden Holdn has wowed fans as he unveiled the results of his eight week body transformation.
The soap star is best known to viewers for his portrayal of Rhydian Chivers, who arrived on Wetherfield earlier this year.
However, the actor now looks unrecognisable from his appearance as Sean Tully's mentor on the long-running soap.

Haydn shared a post on Instagram to reveal how he was inspired to adopt a new gym routine at Ultimate Performance Manchester after successive lockdowns.
Ultimate Performance also has a Liverpool site, located in St Paul's Square in the city centre.
The results have astounded his followers after he reduced his body fat to nine per-cent and increased his lean body mass by 2kg.
Diet was one of the main factors in Haydn's new programme and he shared what were the toughest moments in achieving his new look.
He said: "In terms of diet, the first couple of weeks, in my opinion, are the toughest as your body is being re-wired to new nutrition but as soon as you get past that hurdle, changes start to fall into place and everything starts to make sense'."
The soap star is delighted with the results of his gym programme and was keen to stress the mental health benefits of his routine.
He said: "Clearly there’s a body transformation but I promise you, the impact of the mental health benefits are far greater. It’s not for everyone and people have their own routines and preferences but for me, I highly recommend and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!"
Thrilled fans flooded the comments to praise Haydn for his "incredible" image transformation.
James said: "Jeez Haydn!"
Craig added: "Bloody hell!!! Well done Haydn… you look incredible!"
Dafydd posted: "Proud of you H! Keep being YOU, keep being FABULOUS."
Nicola commented: "Check you out!! you look amazing."
Cristina said: "This is what you call commitment to training and hard work - really impressive!"
