X Factor winner unrecognisable after transforming into Sharon Osbourne – can you guess who it is?
AN X Factor winner looked unrecognisable after transforming into Sharon Osbourne – can you work out who it is?
Sharon, 72, served as a judge on the hit ITV show on and off from 2004 to 2017.
Taking to Instagram, a past winner channelled the star in a fancy dress outfit.
It is none other than Joe McElderry, although Sharon wasn’t a judge in his series.
He captioned the social media post: “MRS OSBOURNE. Fancy dress night here at Joseph.”
A follower commented: “You look amazing love! xxx.”
Another penned: “Stunning Mrs O! Honestly too fab!”
While a third wrote: “Great look Mrs Osbourne. It’s spot on.”
A fourth simply stated: “You look good Joe.”
As a fifth remarked: “Nah this is iconic hahaha.”
Joe, 33, beat several now-household names to the X Factor crown in 2009.
He triumphed over Olly Murs, Stacey Solomon and Jedward to name a few.
Then just a fresh-faced 18-year-old, he was mentored in the competition by Girls Aloud star Cheryl.
His first single was a cover of Miley Cyrus‘ The Climb – and it reached number one on both the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Charts.
Continuing his reality TV success, Joe later went on to win both Popstar to Operastar and The Jump.
Last December, he showed off his incredible body transformation with a new shirtless gym selfie.
The singer took to Instagram and posed in just a pair of grey shorts and black trainers.
He told fans: “2025 the year of the workout.”
Fans rushed to comment on the X Factor winner’s post, with one writing: “Well done Joe on how incredibly motivated you are.”
Another said: “You’ve got this.” And a third added: “Gorgeous.”
