A Loose Women star appears remarkably different in a photograph taken a decade ago.

The viral social media phenomenon dubbed "2026 is the new 2016" has prompted people to scroll through their archives, searching for images or footage that best encapsulate their lives from ten years past.

From famous faces to everyday individuals, social media users have been embracing the trend by declaring 2026 as the new 2016 through their uploads.

During Friday's edition (January 16) of the ITV daytime programme, Kaye Adams, GK Barry, Nadia Sawalha and Jane Moore participated in the trend.

The quartet unearthed photographs from 2016, with viewer favourite GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, appearing strikingly different.

The internet personality captured herself striking poses before her mirror in a selfie taken at age 16.

Nadia, Kaye and Jane likewise revealed throwback images from ten years ago, with Jane pictured alongside the late Dame Barbara Windsor on her MBE day, whilst Nadia struck a pose wearing a blue wig backstage at Loose Women.
