Fans couldn't believe it!

Published 30th May 2017

You will know Pete Wicks for his famous long hair and tattooed look on reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex,** **but he's really confused fans by posting a throwback snap of himself.

Sharing a side by side shot of his passport photo from 10 years ago and his new passport photo, the TOWIE star looks completely unrecognisable, leading some fans to believe it's not him.

Alongside the photo, Pete wrote, 'New passport photo...wouldn't even know it was the same bloke! 10 years and a lot more hair! 👀😂'

The reality star can be seen as a skinhead and with dark brown eyes in the old snap, whilst he rocks his long locks and blue eyes in the most recent photo.

Fans were quick to comment on the snap and not everybody was convinced the first photo was actually him.

One user wrote, 'That's 100% not the same person, I don't buy it'. Another added, Pete it's a lie, that's not you.'

Even former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison commented on the snap, she wrote, 'That's not you!'

After many comments regarding his change in eye colour, the reality star decided to add to his caption and wrote, 'And for the record, no I do not wear coloured contacts! I have no idea why my eyes look brown in the first photo!'

After still receiving messages about the snap, Pete later decided to share a snap of himself as a child to prove he hasn't undergone any surgery to change the colour of his eyes.

Sharing a snap of himself with blue eyes and blonde hair, Pete wrote, 'There you go for all you numbnuts that think I've had some sort of eye transplant! It's just an old dodgy passport picture that have made them look brown....born with blue eyes! 👀😂'
