Brenda Edwards was blown away by Ray Quinn's appearance on the latest episode of Loose Women.
The former X Factor star joined the Loose ladies for a chat and left everyone stunned by his new look - but none more so than Brenda!
Ray, 34, came on set sporting a man bun and a trendy suit as he promoted his new tour.
The panelists couldn't believe Ray's unrecognisable appearance, as Brenda became unable to resit stroking the singer's hair, as reports Daily Star.
“Can I say how soft your beard is Ray?” said Brenda.
“You can, it’s moisturised, it’s conditioned,” replied Ray, seemingly thrilled with the attention.
Co-host Kayre stepped in the put the reigns on a doting Brenda, telling her: “No you can’t Brenda, it’s inappropriate.”
Ray was a contestant on the third series of the X Factor in 2006, when he finished in second place behind Leona Lewis.
He then starred in Hollyoaks as part of a far right extremist storyline where he played racist thug Jonny Baxter.
Ray, who was a child star in Brookside in the 90s, quit the soap in 2019 after fans were left stunned when his character groomed Ste into hating muslims.
But swing singer Ray Quinn stunned fans when he revealed he quit his life of fame to become a labourer when the coronavirus pandemic hit in March 2020.
He now looks unrecognisable with longer hair and sleeve tattoos.
He certainly looked the part for his performance of Frank Sinatra classic, Fly Me To The Moon, to close out the show.
Fans took to Twitter to gush over the performer, with one writing: "Beautiful voice Ray, lovely fella Xx #loosewomen."
A second put: "Well that was a surprise from Ray Quinn I didn't realized he could sing so well, enjoyed that! #LooseWomen."
A third added: "Great voice Ray! #loosewomen."
One then mused: "Ray Quinn is great such a gentleman loved seeing him win dancing on ice #LooseWomen."
Ray won ITV skating show Dancing On Ice in 2009 and the follow-up All Stars series five years later.
He released third album Undeniable in 2020.
When looking back at his X Factor days with the panel, Coleen gushed: “You looked so young, you looked about 12.”
To which Ray replied: “I haven’t seen those clips for a very long time, I was 17 on the show and turned 18 during the lives.”
