EastEnders fans have been left shocked at how different former cast member Jack Ryder looks today, 24 years after he first appeared on the soap.
The actor - who was known for his boyish good looks and floppy curtains - made his Albert Square debut in November 1998 at the age of 17, before leaving the BBC serial in December 2002.
Jack is now 41 and he has transformed his image since his last Walford scenes, which saw his character tragically killed in a car accident.

Taking to Instagram recently to share his gratitude after being invited to give a masterclass for homeless people's professional theatre company Cardboard Citizens, Jack shared a picture of himself along with his message.
He could be seen wearing a black and red plaid shirt while his brown hair having ben trimmed into a short style, his floppy blonde locks nowhere to be seen.
Jack, who was previously married to former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Kym Marsh, sported some designer stubble, whereas he was much more smooth-faced during his soap days.
