Popstars: The Rivals singer unrecognisable 18 years after huge hit, Eurovision disaster and affair scandal

JAVINE Hylton looks completely different two decades after she shot to fame on Popstars: The Rivals.

The singer competed for a spot in Girls Aloud on the hit show in 2002 alongside Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle and Sarah Harding.

When she failed to get into the girlband she took a stab at a solo career and represented the UK at Eurovision in 2005.

Javine looks unrecognisable nowadays as a stylish mum-of-three.

The devoted mum often posts sweet photos of her adorable brood on Instagram and loves nothing more than to spend time with them on holidays and by the seaside.

She recently celebrated her eldest daughter Angel's 15th birthday, and shared a snap of her posing with her pals at home.

Javine captioned it: "First born. Daughter born in the water. We love you. Love Xander and Zac."

Javine shares Angel with So Solid Crew member MC Harvey.

They hit the headlines when Harvey incredibly cheated on his famous wife and fellow musician Alesha Dixon with Javine.

Alesha dumped Harvey in 2006 and he continued to date Javine, with the couple welcoming Angel into the world in 2008.

They eventually split up, and Javine has gone on to have two more sons from new relationships.

In 2005, Javine entered Eurovision and scored 18 points for Touch My Fire, landing in 22nd on the leaderboard.

During the lead up to the show she suffered a horrifying wardrobe malfunction while performing Touch My Fire live, when her right breast briefly popped out of her skimpy orange mini-dress.

As a result the BBC received several complaints about Javine's outfit before the 9pm watershed.

Speaking about the telly disaster at the time, Javine said: “Oh, my God, that was so embarrassing. I didn't have a clue that my boob was on show.

"No one told me and I think it only came out for a split second. I knew the dress was quite skimpy but I wasn't thinking about that too much."

The outrage didn't hinder the song's success and it reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.

Javine also released a further three Top 20 hits in the following years and supported rapper Nelly on his UK tour.

After her pop career fizzled out she cropped up on TV a number of times.

She made appearances on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Celebrity Come Dine With Me, and for two years played Nala in The Lion King in London's West End.
