Tracy Beaker's Louise Govern looks unrecognisable 20 years after iconic role

ok.co.uk:

Louise Govern was a key character in the Tracy Beaker cast two decades ago, but her actress is almost unrecognisable now. If you were a child in the early 2000s, it's likely that your after-school routine included watching children's TV favourites like the BBC's The Story of Tracy Beaker.The show first hit our screens over 20 years ago in 2002, and it's fair to say that the characters from the 'Dumping Ground' children's home look significantly different today compared to their youthful appearances on the show.

Chelsie Padley, one of the stars of the show, made a name for herself at the tender age of 10 when she landed the role of the sweet-natured Louise Govern, best known as the best friend of Tracy Beaker's nemesis, Justine Littlewood.

Chelsie left the role of Louise exactly two decades ago in 2004, and she recently celebrated her 33rd birthday - looking completely different these days.The former actress has transitioned into a fitness and lifestyle coach and is a mother to a daughter named Goldie, born last year.

To celebrate her birthday, Chelsie shared a series of photos on her Instagram account (@mamaspeachylife), including one where she looks stunning in a white dress cinched at the waist with a black belt.
