Pop Idol's Jessica Garlick hasn't aged in over 20 years after record Eurovision bid

Pop Idol star Jessica Garlick is almost unrecognisable over two decades after appearing on the ITV talent show.

The former Pop Idol contestant has proved that age is on her side as over twenty years after becoming a household name as she's now in her forties, but looks almost as young as she did back then.

Jessica, who is now 42, made it into the final 10 contestants of the ITV show back in 2001.

Although she made it that far in the competition, she was subsequently eliminated in week two of the live shows.

Jessica had to wave goodbye to her Pop Idol dreams after she performed a rendition of Merry Christmas Everyone, by Shakin Stevens.

However, that wasn't be to the last we saw of the singer as just one year after appearing on Pop Idol, Jessica was chosen to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest which took place in Tallinn at the time.

Jessica proved that her voice was one of great power when her song titled 'Come Back' broke Eurovision records with her finishing in joint third place at the song contest.

Her ranking became the highest UK Eurovision song since Imaani's Where Are You in 1998.

Jessica's incredible Eurovision result has yet to be beaten since.

Following her Eurovision experience in 2002, Jessica took a break from music but kickstarted making music again in 2009 with her song titled Hard Not To Fall.

Sadly, her single didn't do too well in charts and Jessica decided to focus her attention on her personal life as she went on to tie the knot with her personal trainer husband Owen Satterley.

The lovebirds went on to welcome two children together.

The former Pop Idol singer looks almost unrecognisable but still looks incredibly youthful.

She has also dyed her hair a darker shade of brunette and in the sweet family snap, Jessica posed makeup free alongside her beau.

Alongside the snap, Owen penned a thoughtful caption as he celebrated the pair's 18th wedding anniversary.

"Married for 18 years. And yes, I know I’m punching. Happy and grateful."

Owen and Jessica are proud parents to their daughter Olivia and son Noah.
