Molly Rainford unrecognisable from Britain's Got Talent days as she glams up for BRITs

Molly Rainford, who was on Britain's Got Talent when she was just 11-years old, looked very different as she stepped out onto the BRITS red carpet tonight.

Now 21, Molly stars in CBBC's Nova Jones where she plays an eighteen-year-old intergalactic pop star who performs in space.

Wearing a gown with a plunging neckline and high split up the leg, Molly is galaxies away from her days on BGT.

The beige dress was draped by a delicate veil of lace flowers in a teal that nipped her in at the waist.

She wore a pair of nude heels and kept accessories to a minimum.

Excited ahead of the BRITS she shared a video on Instagram of her getting glammed up and ready to go.

Dressed in zebra print pyjamas and sporting bed hair, the singer beamed

"Good morning people. All I'm saying is the glow up today..."

"I'm not even ready. I'm not ready"

Posing on the red carpet with her tamed blonde locks flowing over her shoulders she captioned her story: "We're at the @BRITS babyyyy".

In another, she shared someone else's story of her posing in front of the BRITS signage with one hand casually on her hip.

In another video, she gazed down at the BRITS stage from her own box as she sipped on a glass of wine.

"Exciting," she wrote.

She was pipped to the post in 2012 by dog act Ashley and Pudsey, leaving Molly winding up in sixth place.

But she didn't let that knock her confidence, she stuck to singing and after working hard in music college she collaborated with the likes of plan B.

In 2019 she released an EP called Commitment which raked in more than 2million streams.

She then followed that with a collection of Christmassy tracks called Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).

Before performing on BGT she told judges: "I go to church on Sundays with my nan".

Alesha Dixon, 43, told her: "You are 11 years old and you sing with such maturity and control. You've just blown me away."

She chatted to fans in her pjs ahead of the BRITS (Instagram)

"I just worry that you're too old." He added: You're kind of faultless, well done," David Walliams joked.

Simon Cowell, 62, added: "I've got to tel you Molly I like you because you've got soul, I really do believe that."

The BRITS have kicked off this evening with the best of British talent arriving on the red carpet.
