Britain’s Got Talent series 1 child star unrecognisable 17 years after show – as dancer gets married
A BRITAIN’S Got Talent child star looks completely unrecognisable 17 years after featuring on the ITV reality series.
The dancer starred in the first-ever instalment of the show – and cut a strikingly different figure as she posted a selection of images from her beautiful wedding day.
Charlotte Plant – now Charlotte O’Brien – took to her Instagram page to showcase her special I Do moment at Hawkstone Hall with husband Brad.
She wore a stunning mermaid cut bridal gown with a plunging neckline and flowing skirt.
The Latin and Ballroom dancer, coach and adjudicator styled her brunette locks in loose waves over her shoulders and finished her classic look with a huge veil.
A floral headband added extra glam while Charlotte added a pop of colour with red lipstick.
Yet Britain’s Got Talent fans will be left doing a double take over the Pure Dance Studio founder.
BGT ALUMNI
She starred on the first ever series, back in 2007, alongside fellow dance partner Luke Miller.
Before their impressive audition, they had only been training together for six months.
Child star Charlotte donned an adorable short-hair look with a side-sweep fringe.
She wore a mermaid sparkle dress for their first routine – a salsa – which impressed ITV judges Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden.
The latter gushed: “Your footwork is so disciplined and precise – I think you’re fantastic.”
Simon then added: “I think the British public are gonna like you.”
They then reached the semi final and tackled a fresh routine to Jennifer Lopez track, Let’s Get Loud.
Simon then added: “I thought it was absolutely brilliant.”
