Coronation Street actor Alex Bain looks completely unrecognisable from his character Simon Barlow in new holiday snaps.
The 20-year-old is currently in Spain with his girlfriend Mollie Lockwood and the loved-up pair have been posing for a series of intimate snaps.
In one photo posted to his Instagram, beaming at the camera, Alex showed off his recent facial hair transformation of a five o’clock shadow at his chin and a moustache decorating his upper lip.

Mollie was sitting beside him smiling in what looks to be a relaxed bar setting, with Alex rocking a shirt and Mollie’s blonde hair falling loose around her shoulders, Daily Star reports.
Alex captioned the sweet snap: “We do be looking cute still even at the end of the night!”
The pair later headed to the beach where they took a cute photo showing Alex hoisting Mollie into his arms with the setting sun as a backdrop.
He could be seen wearing an open linen shirt and beige shorts as he stood barefoot in the water with Mollie wrapped around him, sporting a blue-and-white two-piece crop top and shorts.
Mollie wrote alongside the snaps: “Our first night in Spain. Someone told us beach pictures look cool!”
Fans and co-stars quickly rushed to comment on the adorable pictures, with Jack James Ryan who plays Jacob Hay in the Virgin Media soap writing: “You guys!”
Another fan gushed: “Sooo cute!”
“Aww, gorgeous couple and gorgeous photos, you love birds have the best vacation in Spain! Sending lots of love,” a third commented.
As someone else said: “The best couple in the world!”
However, it wasn’t the easiest journey for the couple to reach the continent, as their Ryanair flight was initially delayed at the airport.
They did, however, eventually land in Reus after a couple of setbacks - as Alex fractured his ankle just a day before his previous holiday.
Sporting a medical boot, Alex attended the fracture clinic for his poorly ankle, telling fans at the time: “Update on the ankle. I’m at the fracture clinic having a check-up and X-Ray to see how it’s doing. I’ll keep you all updated!”
He then told his followers: “Quick update again! I have to go back in four weeks time to have it checked again, however they're pleased with the progress so all is well with me!
"Should be healed soon enough guys! Thanks for all your love and support!"
