Bars and Melody look totally different almost a decade after becoming finalists on Britain's Got Talent.
The duo - which consists of Leondre Devries, 22, and Charlie Lenehan, 24 - were contestants on the ITV talent series in 2014, where they placed third in the live final.
They have come a long way in the years since, having released several albums together, toured various countries and have even competed in other talent competitions.
The pair - who were teenagers when they competed on BGT - are still going as a musical duo and now look worlds away from how they did when they were on the show.
