X Factor winner Joe McElderry looks worlds away from his days on the ITV singing competition in his latest TV appearance.
The singer found fame after winning the show in 2009 where he beat Olly Murs in the final with his rendition of The Climb by Miley Cyrus.
The 30-year-old appeared on Steph's Packed Lunch and embraced an edgier look compared to his fresh faced appearance on the show 13 years ago.
He is no longer clean-shaven and the singer showed off designer stubble and had slicked back his wavy hair.
While showing off his bare chest, Joe wore a grey silk shirt with a plunging neckline.
As reported in The Mirror, Joe told Steph's Packed Lunch that he got to The X Factor bootcamps but quit three years before returning to the show and winning.
He said: "So I would've been about 15. I got to bootcamp and on the second day I was like, 'I don't like the cameras being here.' Just overwhelming.
"I pulled a producer to one side and I was like, 'excuse me, I'm just going to leave now, this isn't for me.' I don't think they'd ever really had that before. You could tell they were a bit like 'sorry what?'"
"I just said, 'I don't feel like I'm good enough and I don't feel like I'm ready or confident enough and I left."'
He's also stepped into the world of musical theatre and in 2015 he played the lead role of Joseph in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
He's recently been documenting his workout journey on his social media.
In one snap he was on all fours on the floor of a gym, covered in sweat. He captioned the photo: "If you assault bikes! You know this feeling very well."
In another he wore a pair of orange shorts and a work out top as he gave the thumbs up.
He was met by fans who praised him for his fitness journey.
"OMG looks like hard work," one wrote.
"Well done Joe," said another.
Joe was met by cruel trolls in 2015 when he was blasted for showing off an alleged "fuller frame".
He was hurt and furious by the comments and told The Mirror: "It was a bad angled photo and I would go as far to say it was an edited photo as well, but that's a whole other story."
"I reacted to it in a funny way by posting a topless picture from the gym and made a joke out of it, but I also wanted to send out a message to kids and teenagers that of course your body changes when you get older, of course you change shape, of course your shoulders get broader, of course your arms are bigger."
