Coronation Street actress Kate Ford looks almost unrecognisable in throwback snaps from more than a decade ago.
Kate plays legendary character Tracey Barlow on the ITV soap, and has stunned fans after posting youthful photos taken in 1997.
The 45-year-old shared the photos on social media, which feature her looking fresh faced and posing with her ex.
As reported in The Mirror, the actress took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a post shared by her former boyfriend's wife, and followers were taken aback by what they saw.
Posing up a storm with ex-boyfriend, Bart Ruspoli, Kate and her then-beau can be seen glaring into the camera in the throwback series.
The Salford-born star looks incredible with her brunette hair chopped around her face and framing her stunning features.
Kate shared the screenshot of an original post, which was shared by her ex Bart's wife, Vanessa Ruspoli.
Sharing the sweet photo on her page, Kate penned: "Love this!! When your ex’s wife posts a celebratory photo of you and her husband (I love them both) from 1997 you realise how life can (sometimes) come full circle in gorgeous ways you at one point couldn’t imagine."
One person penned: "Wow!! This is a great example of women supporting women!"
Another fan said: "Didn't recognise u at all then," while a third commented: "This is outstanding."
And a fourth person wrote: "What a gorgeous photo."
The stunning snaps come after Kate gave her fans an insight into working as an actress while battling a chronic illness.
She recently confessed to fans that filming while suffering from endometriosis can be a struggle at times.
