BGT star Connie Talbot looks unrecognisable in glam selfie 15 years after show debut

Britain's Got Talent star Connie Talbot looks entirely different from the gumsy little girl who auditioned on the ITV show back in 2007.

The now 21-year-old took to Instagram this week to post a "classy toilet selfie" to her account which boasts 300,000 followers.

Connie took a snap wearing a cool black leather jacket and with a stylish top underneath.

The singer styled her locks in loose curls and enhanced her natural beauty with minimalistic makeup.

Connie was just six years old when she stole the nation's heart with her stunning rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan were blown away at the time despite the youngster initially applying for the talent show "as a joke".

Connie made it all the way to the final of the first series, losing out to eventual winner Paul Potts.

After the competition finished, the youngster was initially signed to Simon's record label.

She toured in Asia and released two Christmas albums, Connie Talbot’s Christmas Album and Connie Talbot’s Holiday Magic .

In 2012, she released a third album, Beautiful World, under Hong Kong label Evosound and it reached number one in the Taiwan charts.

In 2019, she made her big return to Britain's Got Talent: The Champions, where she sang an original song and won rave reviews from the judges - but did not make it to the semi-finals in the competition.

She did get a standing ovation from judges Simon, Amanda, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon.

Connie still works as a singer, and has embarked on a new career in songwriting as well as dedicating herself to charity work, becoming an ambassador for The African Children's Choir and promoting their education and relief projects in Africa.

She has a huge following on YouTube, where she posts videos of herself singing original songs and covers.

The stylish star also has many photos taken in glamorous settings including beach restaurants and beautiful gardens, while she showcases her exquisite style in a variety of outfits.

As well as jet-setting around the world with her singing, Connie's also shares part of her family life including the arrival of her nieces.

The current Britain's Got Talent continues Saturday on ITV
