Pop Idol judge Neil 'Doctor' Fox looks worlds away from his image while on the iconic singing competition.
The 60-year-old star was spotted at a BAFTAs party sporting an on-trend grey beard as he proved the years have been good to him since appearing on Pop Idol.
Silver fox Neil showed off his brand-new look at the swanky party where his outfit was every bit as trendy as his new facial hair.
'Doctor' Fox oozed confidence in a dark navy denim jacket which he paired with some navy chinos as he made his mark on the A-list event at the BAFTA's headquarters in Piccadilly, London.
Neil's latest appearance comes amid rumours that Pop Idol is set for a massive comeback as it's about to celebrate it's twentieth anniversary.

The TV star recently talked about a possible reunion when he hinted: "A Pop Idol reunion is certainly on the cards - where have 20 years gone.
"It would be great to get back on the screens with a one off special. Gareth Gates was always one of my favourite - he’s an amazing talent," Neil added.
Speaking to The Sun, Neil also took the opportunity to make a cheeky dig towards his former co-star Simon Cowell.
Neil insisted that he was 'ageing much better' than Simon Cowell as he opened up on working with the music mogul twenty years ago.

"I'd like to think I am ageing much better than Cowell. At least I haven’t come off my bike," he quipped.
Neil's comments on Simon come as the music mogul is planning to tie the knot with longterm love, Lauren Silverman.
The X Factor mogul is exchange vows with Lauren next month in a star-studded intimate ceremony in London.

After years of leading a bachelor lifestyle, wooing glamorous and gorgeous women from around the world, the music mogul has had his wild ways tamed by American socialite Lauren.
The 43-year-old began dating Simon in 2013, but their relationship was far from smooth, as she was already married to businessman Andrew Silverman - who was also Simon’s close friend.
The couple soon welcomed son Eric, and even after becoming a dad for the first time, Simon refused to pop the question to Lauren, but after his almost fatal e-bike crash in 2020, in which he broke his back, many have speculated that the TV impresario had changed his mind.
