Coronation Street 's Tracy Barlow looks completely unrecognisable in some real-life snaps taken back in 1997.
Kate Ford, who plays the popular loud-mouthed Corrie star on ITV, looks worlds away from how viewers and fans and home know her alongside her ex in the youthful snaps.
The brunette beauty has spent almost two decades on our screens, but that hasn't stopped most people taking a second look at the image due to how different Kate looks.
Kate, 45, took to Instagram to share the youthful snaps sharing a screenshot of a post shared by her ex-boyfriend's wife, and fans were taken aback by the photographs.
Posing up a storm with ex-boyfriend, Bart Ruspoli, Kate and her then-beau can be seen glaring into the camera in the throwback snaps.
The Salford-born actress looks incredible in the snaps 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-boyfriend 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."
