Former Great British Bake Off contestant Jordan Cox looks very different from when viewers first saw him on the Channel 4 show in 2014.
The baker - who enjoyed a stint in the iconic tent during the fifth series of the show - has grown his hair even longer and added a huge, busy beard to his face, giving the former Bake Off star an entirely different look eight years on from his time on TV
The Great British Bake Off returned to our screens last night [September 14], with less people than usual tuning in. The series premiere suffered a slump in viewing figures compared to how many people watched last year's series opener, as coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's death and upcoming funeral seemingly continues to distract the nation from its usual viewing habits.
Major broadcasters, including the BBC and ITV, have opted to provide blanket coverage of the events, as the country entered a period of national mourning. Launches of flagship programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing have been postponed.
The first instalment of Bake Off saw a slump in viewing figures, with just 4.4 million people tuning in to watch the competition. Compared to last year's opening episode, which attracted an audience of 5.7million, it's a 1.3million drop in viewers.
Jordan was the third baker to leave the show when he baked up a storm on the show back in 2014, with the series eventually won by Nancy Birthwhistle.
Jordan has grown his hair even longer and now sports a huge beard, with his trademark glasses still a fixture on his face almost a decade on from his Bake Off days.
After his exit from the tent in 2014 - back when the show aired on the BBC - Jordan criticised the show's team for distracting the bakers when they are cooking.
Speaking to the Nottingham Post following his departure, Jordan admitted: "I know that for the four hours they were in there, they will have been bombarded with constant questions.
"They are right up in your face all the time and will be asking you endless questions. It's not just Mel and Sue, like you see on the TV. Iain got criticised, but he would rather have put up nothing than something that's not up to scratch."
He added: "Everything takes a little longer with the camera crew in the tent. It can feel like a couple of minutes in there and then before you know it, you are out of time."
Jordan also suggested the show could invest in some better equipment, saying: "They needed better freezers. They were very good for the TV because you can see people putting things in and it looks pretty.
"But you would never see them in a commercial kitchen - and they're being asked to bake to commercial timescales."
