Tulisa Contostavlos of N-Dubz was scarcely recognised during a guest appearance on This Morning.
The 34-year-old singer and former X Factor judge appeared on the ITV daytime show on Friday with her co-stars Fazer, real name Richard Rawson, and her cousin Dappy, actual name Costadinos Contostavlos.
Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary began their conversation by expressing surprise that they all looked ‘exactly the same’ after being on break 12 years ago.
‘Can you tell me your secret?’ Alison, 48, inquired, and Frazer, 36, said, ‘Water, drink lots of water, and sleep.’
Viewers couldn’t take their eyes off Tulisa’s young face, and many were perplexed as to whether it was ‘her’ or not seated on the sofa.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: ‘I stan Tulisa’s Cher glow up 😍’
Meanwhile, another asked: ‘Why does Tulisa not look like Tulisa?’
Echoing a similar sentiment, a third said: ‘Tulisa looks like a completely different person’
Tulisa stated on This Morning that she was first ‘hesitant’ to return to the stage and perform again.
‘I think another reason I was nervous is because back in the day, I would always have a whiskey shot for Dutch courage, but now I’m teetotal,’ she continued.
‘So I was a bit nervous but it was like second nature.’
N-Dubz, a hip hop group, announced the return of their decade-long sabbatical on social media in May 2022.
Their unexpected reappearance was followed by the release of new track Charmer and the start of a tour in November.
Number One, a duet with Tinchy Stryder, reached number one on the UK singles chart in 2009.
In 2011, the band took a two-year break to work on their separate careers, however they didn’t release new songs until last year.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
