Former The X Factor star, Craig Colton looks unrecognisable following an incredible transformation, 13 years after appearing on the show.The aspiring pop star was only 22 when he wowed the judges with his vocal prowess and he finished the 2011 series in sixth place.

Craig competed against winners Little Mix and was mentored by Take That's Gary Barlow before his time on the talent show came to an end during week seven of the live shows.

Despite the setback, the finalist built a career in the music industry and wrote several songs, including Katie Price's I Got U song.

He's come a long way from the shy 22 year old we knew and has undergone a major transformation since his X Factor days. Not only has he ditched his heavy fringe for a sleek, slicked-back quiff, but he's also wowed fans with his significant weight loss, reports the Mirror.
