If you hadn't already worked it out, this freckled, flame-haired cutie is none other than Rylan Clark-Neal.

Earlier this week the This Morning presenter, whose real name is Ross, stunned viewers of Loose Women when he revealed he is a natural red head and is keen to return to his natural hair colour.

Rylan revealed he had ginger hair until he reached his teenage years, when he started experimenting with different colours.

He said: "I started dying my hair at secondary school, when I was about 15 - I would like nothing more than to go back to my natural colour now."

The Celebrity Big Brother star looked virtually unrecognisable in the throwback snaps he shared on the show.

Meanwhile panellists Coleen Nolan, Nadia Swahala, June Sarpong and Janet Street-Porter gave him stick about dying his pubic hair.

In an interview with  in 2013 Rylan's best mate Lucy Texeira – who was in the 2011 X Factor band 2 Shoes - revealed that heartless bullies taunted him for years for being gay and ginger.

She reckoned this is the reason Rylan is so obsessed with his looks now, adding: "He was chubby and really ginger – like, carrot-top ginger – with loads of freckles.

"He wasn’t popular or good-looking. He was a geek.

"The bullies would be so horrible to him that his mum would have to go down to the school to complain."

Many X Factor fans will remember Rylan's long peroxide blonde locks when he first rocked  up on the ITV talent show.

Since then he's turned brunette and admitted on Loose Women that he dyes his beard black to match his bonce.

Though he admitted X Factor had turned him "grey", adding: "I am literally just going grey now."

Earlier this week Rylan was left speechless on This Morning when his husband called up the show in an attempt to shame him live on TV.

Rylan and co-host Holly Willoughby were discussing author Barbara Taylor-Bradford's claim that the secret to a happy marriage is letting your husband win every argument - or to at least let him think he has.

Rylan's partner Dan called in, going by the name of Sam, and he agreed with Barbara before revealing his true identity.

He joked: "Someone told me that Rylan’s been piping up all morning saying that he always wins the arguments. He is the worst person to argue with."
