A Waterloo Road star from Liverpool now looks unrecognisable since finding fame in the hit-BBC show nine years ago.
Brogan Ellis, from West Derby, played transgender teenager Kacey Barry in the school-based drama. Brogan, now 26, was 16 when she played the groundbreaking role.
In the show, Brogan's character arrived at Waterloo Road and quickly realised they had gender identity issues. Viewers saw the talented footballer binding their chest with bandages and experiencing a form of gender dysphoria.

Members of Brogan's on-screen family did not accept Kacey for who they really were with brother Barry, even being violent towards her. For some time, Kacey used the name Robbie before deciding to detransition and think more on their gender identity when they were older.
Back in April, the actress spoke about her role with the ECHO, and said: "Waterloo Road was a brilliant experience, especially to play Kacey. They were a complex character, not your everyday teenager, so as an actor and for it to be my first acting role, it was an absolute dream.
"Of course, there were struggles. Playing Kacey was a challenge but being thrown in at the deep end felt like I was hitting the ground running with my acting career and it was certainly never boring.
"To be in a show filled with talented actors was an incredible learning experience as a young actor and completely invaluable." Nine years later, Brogan now looks unrecognisable.
Posting on her Instagram, the 26-year-old is now grown up and often shares pictures of her day-to-day life. Brogan hasn't posted since New Year, but in her latest Instagram post she shared sweet snaps with friends and other loved ones.
