Britain’s Got Talent child star Dylan Bird looks almost unrecognisable six years after starring on the show.
Dancer Dylan was just when he blew away the judges and a gobsmacked audience with his breathtaking routine.
His audition for music mogul Simon Cowell and co was memorable and won him an army of TV fans for his confident performance.
Dylan dazzled by performing an energetic routine to the song Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.
Simon had no doubts about letting the teenager deservedly progress to the next stage of the competition, as did equally-impressed judges Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
But surprisingly singer and presenter Alesha Dixon wasn’t too enamoured by the youngster’s audition and buzz for him not to progress on the hit ITV show.
However when Dylan impressed again in the semi-final stages of the competition, Alesha was a lot more impressed.
Dylan’s fast medley of songs including Shake It Off, by Taylor Swift, and Lips Are Movin by Meghan Trainor, went down a storm.
However, Dylan only placed eighth in the final standings after achieving just a 3% share of the public vote.
The 2015 show was won by dog tricks duo Jules O'Dwyer and Matisse, with magician Jamie Raven landing in second place.
And nowadays Dylan lives a regular live, which he shows glimpses of on his Instagram page.
He graduated university two years ago and is seen in one picture with a striking nose piercing.
Dylan is prone to sharing celeb throwback snaps of himself, one of which is with former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson during his time on the ITV show.
He still has the famous ginger hair which helped him stand out on BGT and looks happy in life with snaps of him and his family.
Dylan famously came in for criticism from Katie Hopkins who trolled him online with cruel weight jibes.
The former Apprentice loudmouth penned a series of nasty comments about Dylan, mocking the star’s weight.
In one vicious comment during Dylan’s performance, Katie slammed: “Oh my dear lord. #BGT? ...... More like BFG..... Frankly the parents should be prosecuted. #BGT.”
Katie then linked a picture of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book about a big friendly giant.
But Dylan’s mum angrily hit back at the remarks and branded her a “nasty woman”.
She said at the time: “Does she really have nothing better to do with her time? She’s just a horrible, nasty woman.
“I’ve so much I could say to Katie if but I won’t even bother.
“Let’s just say it’s too bad if a grown women like her has to stoop to slagging off a young lad.”
