The Office fans were left stunned as actress Lucy Davies joined the panel on Loose Women today.
The actress, 49, famed for her role as Dawn Tinsley in the Ricky Gervais comedy, looked dramatically different as she took part in a special section of the show where Denise Welch tracked down stars who were once on the telly in the UK.
Lucy appeared from Santa Monica, California, 19 years after the show ended with fans seeing her character Dawn hook up with salesman Tim Canterbury, played by Martin Freeman.
Poor Dawn was often the brunt of Brent's dad jokes and did an awful lot of his work for him.
Lucy wore her hair in braids and was dressed in dungarees and a choker as she told Denise about her life in the US.
She explained how she came to be living over the pond, telling Denise: "In 2003 BBC America were going to air The Office.
"They brought us out here for like a week or something. Then I got a manager here."
Since her two-year stint on The Office, Lucy has starred on the small screen as Hilda Spellman in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix, which aired it's final series in 2020 after Covid caused it to be cancelled.
That came shortly after she followed Freeman into the MCU, playing Etta Candy, a pal of Wonder Woman, in 2017.
She's also had a number of cameo roles in the likes of Ugly Betty, Family Guy, NCIS and Holby City.
And she is set to appear as a villain called Eva in a new Disney production. She told: "It's a new Disney show called The Villains of Valley View, we've been on this since November."
Denise revealed to viewers she was friendly with Lucy’s comedian dad Jasper Carrott and told her: "I'm so proud of you.
"So many actors want to come to America and make it and for whatever reason they don't."
She added: "You guys have and I couldn't be prouder. I love you both."
Ricky Gervais’ The Office is responsible for launching many actors’ now-glittering careers.
Martin Freeman, who played Tim Canterbury, has since become a big hit in both the UK and the US.
He played Dr Watson in the BBC's Sherlock alongside Benedict Cumberbatch- before narrating and starring in Fargo.
On top of that he's created Breeders and stars as the main character, with the show recently being picked up for a third series.
On the big screen, roles such as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit trilogy, John in Love Actually and panicked teacher Paul in the original Nativity film have seen him earn plaudits.
He's also entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe starring as Everett K .Ross in both Black Panther and Captain America: Civil War.
Mackenzie Crook, who starred as Gareth Keenan, has appeared in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as Ragetti and even had a short stint on Game of Thrones as a warg in season three of the massive HBO show.
And, of course, he's the star of the remake of Worzel Gummidge.
