Jenny Ryan is unrecognisable as she returns to the Celebrity X Factor live shows

She's known as 'The Vixen' on The Chase and Jenny Ryan 'slayed'  with a stunning new look on Celebrity X Factor.

Quizzer Jenny, who was reinstated to the ITV singing show after fans demanded her return, wowed in a silver fringed dress with her hair worn slicked back - and fans couldn't get over how different she looked.

Mentor and judge Nicole Scherzinger said: "You look stunning up there, like a sexy vixen."

And she was so impressed with her performance she granted her a 'Safe Seat' so that she can stay in the running.

Head judge Simon Cowell was also impressed and blamed the decision to drop her from the contest at the audition stage on Nicole and fellow judge Louis Walsh.

"It was these two who wanted to kick you out," he told her.

"Jenny Ryan out there effortlessly slaying on #XFactorCelebrity . What a come back! Go you super genius queen. SLAY QUEEN!!" tweeted one fan.

Jenny, from Bolton, took to the stage in Saturday’s first live final and showed off her booming voice on Conchita Wurst's winning Eurovision ballad Rise Like A Phoenix.

One fan said: “She went from the vixen to Jenny from the block!”

Another said: “Why have they made Jenny Ryan look NOTHING like Jenny Ryan??

"Still can't get over how different Jenny Ryan looks," said another.

Jenny belted out the Queen classic Somebody To Love at the audition stage in Los Angeles.

After considering the celebrities’ performances again judges decided that one of the acts still deserved a coveted spot in the live shows, and they chose Jenny, who is nicknamed 'The Vixen' on The Chase hosted by Bradley Walsh.
