Joe McElderry looked completely different from his days on The X Factor as he headed out on a private yacht in Barbados with friends on Friday.
The singer, 31, starred on the show when he was just 18 years old back in 2009, beating Stacey Solomon and Olly Murs to the crown.
And 14 years on, Joe looked worlds away from the baby-faced teenager who won the competition with his rendition of Miley Cyrus' The Climb.
The TV star has beefed out a bit as he showed off his shirtless frame in a khaki Hawaiian shirt and Calivin Klein shorts.
But after several days in the sunshine, Joe looked a little sunburnt on his chest and shoulders.
