A POP Idol star looked almost like he hadn't aged a day 21 years after making the show final.
The singer reached the last instalment of the ITV programme back in 2003, meeting a close pal and eventual presenter partner along the way.
Mark Rhodes, 42, previously dubbed himself and Pop Idol mate Sam Nixon, 37, themselves the "Primark Ant and Dec."
They have been working together for a whopping 21 years, having first met as contestants on Pop Idol in 2003.
During the hit TV series, Michelle McManus ended up beating Mark to the top spot.
Now Mark has hit the red carpet solo - looking as fresh-faced as ever.

He was seen donning a smart check blazer jacket and jeans, paired with a black knit polo jumper as he stepped out in London.
Mark flashed a smile for the waiting photographers at the press night of The King And I at the Dominion Theatre.
The former CBeebies star is preparing to launch a new show Crazy Coqs later this month.
It will be held in the venue of the same name in London's West End, with Mark promising fans "a night of music and laughter as I take you though my 20-year career."
As well as his performance work, Mark is a "proud" ambassador for the Wolves Foundation, linked to Wolves FC.
Previously, Sam told The Mirror: “If you’re going to be compared to another duo it’s better to be compared to the best.
"We always get compared to Ant and Dec, which we see as a massive compliment.”
At the same time, Mark added: "I don’t think Ant and Dec need to worry about us.
"There’s room for more than one duo in TV definitely and we have no problem with being the Primark version of Ant and Dec.
"Ant and Dec are on a different level. They’re like TV royalty.
"We’ve got so far to go before we should be mentioned in the same breath as them.”
It remains to be seen if the much-loved duo will appear on-screen together soon.
