It's been over ten years since actor Jack Ryder left Eastenders with his baby face and floppy blonde hair, but in a photo shared by fellow Eastenders star, Dean Gaffney, he looks very different.

The picture has taken the internet by storm as fans express shock at how much the actor has changed.

Jack played the character of Jamie Mitchell from 1998 to 2002 but decided to step away from acting. In 2013 he became the Associate Director for the play The Full Monty and he's currently with a new touring production starring Gary Lucy.

The actor was famously married to singer Kym Marsh for eight years until the couple divorced in 2009.
