X Factor star unrecognisable as she poses at the Comedy Awards 15 years after finding fame on the show
A FAMOUS X Factor star looked unrecognisable as she posed at the Comedy Awards last night.
There was no sign of the star's famous back-combed "bird nest" hairstyle that she shot to fame with 15 years ago.
That's right, we're talking about the all grown up Diana Vickers.
The singer, now 31, looked incredible in the low-backed gold dress that showed off her slim figure.
The sequinned gown also plunged at the front, and she wore her trademark blonde hair flowing down her back.
The star looked happy and relaxed as she posed for the cameras on the red carpet.

Diana was just 17 when she shot to fame back in 2008 on The X Factor, with Cheryl as her mentor.
She made it to the semi-final, with Alexandra Burke winning the show and JLS coming in second place.
Having sung from the age of 11, she auditioned for The X Factor singing The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice and regularly performed barefoot during the live shows.
Simon Cowell branded her performance style "Marmite" and her unusual dancing led her to be labelled "The Claw".
