If you cast your minds back to summer 2010, you'll remember a rather handsome looking Australian chap called John James Parton on Big Brother, you know, the guy who fell in love with Josie Gibson.

Unfortunately for John James, his relationship with Josie didn't work out, and eight years on he entered the Australian version of Love Island. Of course, due to the UK version of Love Island being postponed due to the Coronavirus, ITV bosses made the decision to show series one of Love Island: Australia, which was originally filmed in 2018.

If you are already hooked on the Aussie version of the show, which kicked off on ITV2 on Monday 15th June, you probably would have thought that new bombshell John James looked very familiar...

Well, that's because it's JJ! After not managing to find love when he moved back to his native country, the former Big Brother housemate is now trying his best on Love Island: Australia, and his new appearance has left fans in shock.

Looking completely unrecognisable, John James has ditched his blond locks and is now sporting shorter brown hair. He has also been hitting the gym, showing off his impressive physique on the show.

He looks so different! 😲
