Britain's Got Talent star Natalie Okri is unrecognisable from audition 12 years ago

Britain's Got Talent star Natalie Okri is unrecognisable 12 years on from her audition on the show in 2009.

Natalie first appeared on screens when she auditioned as a singer on the show, wowing viewers with her incredible voice.

The singer is now all grown up and barely resembles the schoolgirl who first strode into the limelight.

Natalie, who is from London, impressed judges Piers Morgan, Kelly Brook, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden at the age of just 10.

Piers said of her audition: "You are a very, very little girl with a very, very big voice. You really are and I loved it. I thought you were terrific."

Amanda was equally impressed, commenting: "Just knockout brilliant. 100 per cent yes from me" while Simon gave her her fourth 'yes', noting: "I think you are totally and utterly adorable"

Natalie has just graduated from Northampton University with an impressive 2:1.

She shared a picture of her with her family on her graduation day, expressing her glee at completing her studies.

The star wrote: "I give thanks to God that I made it to the end of university with a 2:1 while juggling music."

Natalie was first propelled to stardom when she appeared on the third season of Britain's Got Talent.

She was eliminated before the final, which saw dance troupe Diversity beat singer Susan Boyle to the win.

However, Natalie has seen success as a musician, releasing a single called Roll With Me recorded with Sneakbo and Ramz.

She is also set to headline her first show at Upstairs At The Ritzy in Brixton, south London, on Monday.
