You may best remember Gareth Gates as the shy teenager who came runner up on the singing talent show Pop Idol back in 2002, but now the singer is all grown up and has completely transformed his look. In holiday snaps shared on the star's Instagram page, the 32-year-old looks to be having an amazing time with his girlfriend, Faye Brooks, while showing off his muscular physique.
Gareth shared one photo with fans and spoke about his amazing holiday in Mykonos, Greece, writing: "Had the best day at@nikkibeachsainttropez." The star jokily pouted and looked away from the camera while wearing black swimming trunks, a backwards cap and a pair of sunglasses, while Faye laughed, posing with her hand on her hip while clad in a chic black swimming costume.

Fans were quick to comment on Gareth's new look, with one writing: "Wow. Looking fantastic@gareth_gates," while another wrote: "he isn't baby anymore."
The singer, who most recently starred as Willard in the Footloose national tour, shared a second close-up photo of himself with Faye with their arms around each other, writing: "me and my bae."
Gareth and Faye have been dating since 2013
The couple have been dating since 2013, and at the time Gareth revealed their new romance while attending the press night for The Sound of Music, in which Faye starred, telling the Mirror: "I was here tonight to support my girlfriend Faye. It's the second time I've been to see her in The Sound of Music. I'm really proud of her, she's amazing."
The pair met ten months after Gareth split from his wife, Suzanne Moles, while starring in a production of Les Miserables together. A source told the Mirror: "Faye and Gareth are very happy. They aren't living together yet as they both travel a lot with work, but they spend as much time together as possible."
