FaceApp shows how famous Welsh people will look when they're older

Ever wondered what you'll look like old?

While imagining how we'll appear when grey and wrinkly might be less of a stretch for some than others, a new mobile phone app is literally putting years on anyone brave enough to use it.

New viral sensation Face App allows you take a selfie and feed it through an ageing filter, with some hyper-realistic and jaw-dropping results.

We decided to give a few famous Welsh celebs an instant OAP transformation - these are some of our favourites.
