BGT star looks unrecognisable as he shows off his ripped physique 16 years after appearing on the talent show

A Britain’s Got Talent star looked unrecognisable showing off his ripped physique in a recent Instagram snap – 16 years after he stunned judges.

Aidan Davis, 27, first appeared on the contest show in 2009, where he delighted viewers and the panel with a street dance act.

The talented dancer ended up reaching finals and finished fifth, in the same year Susan Boyle’s won the compeтιтion and Diversity placed second. 

At the time, judge Amanda Holden said he ‘blew her away’ while Simon Cowell said: ‘I think you’re better than any dancer on this show, you are super, super, super talented.’  

The Birmingham-born rose to fame when he was 12 and despite looking barely recognisable in his recent pics, he certainly maintained a love for fitness.

The former star welcomed a daughter called Poppy and his Instagram is constellated with health and fitness content.

In plenty of his sH๏τs from his social media grid, Aidan proudly shows off his impressive muscled figure, and appears to be dedicating to music as well. 

He released two tracks named I Luv U after his BGT stint, and 2016 song Couldn’t Care Less – where he discusses the struggling time when he tragically lost his parents.

Within weeks his late mum Mandy had three bleeds on her brain and his dad Leroy suffered a heart attack, he said in an emotional chat with Birmingham Live.

‘My mum was rushed to hospital and then my dad had the heart attack,’ he recalled.

‘We nearly lost them both. It was a terrible time, we went through a lot of cr*p, and afterwards I sat down and thought ‘Why do we stress about the little stuff?’. I have a very carefree atтιтude to life now.’

It comes after this week BGT viewers complained about a significant technical issue after watching the audition which scored a golden buzzer from Amanda Holden.

As 11-year-old Oliver joined the stage revealing he wanted to become the best guitarist in the world – adding he was an admirer of AC/DC’s Angus Young.

The young lad caused a standing ovation and captured judges and guests in attendance with his musical skills.

‘A star is born,’ judge Amanda, 54, said as she immediately commented the performance.

‘I have never seen anything like that before in my life.’

With the crowd raving about Oliver and chanting in unison – they pressured judges to press the famous golden buzzer, until Amanda did.

The little aspiring guitarist jumped with joy as also his parents got very emotional while watching in the audience.

‘You already have your own distinct sound which others spend decades trying to do,’ head judge Simon Cowell said.

‘You’re that good, seriously good. That was BRILLIANT. Good for you!’

But some fans at home were left way more unimpressed after stressing they couldn’t ‘even hear the guitar’ during his live act and raced to X to remark the issue.

Meanwhile other viewers couldn’t stop gushing over the astonishing performance, adding the golden buzzer was instead ‘well-deserved’.
