Peter Andre shared a throwback photo from his heyday as a popstar more than 30 years ago to his Instagram on Tuesday.
The snap, taken in 1993, showed the singer, now 52, in his early twenties posing for a photo alongside his hairstylist brother Michael Andre.
And Peter looked strikingly different all those years ago, with the singer - who at that point hadn't yet released his smash single Mysterious Girl - rocking a particularly wild haircut and a clean-shaven face.
Accompanying the photo on his Instagram Stories was Andre's 1993 tune To The Top, which featured on his self-titled debut album released the same year.
He captioned the throwback photo: 'My brother Mike and me in 1993'.
Peter, from a Greek-Cypriot family, grew up in Australia before first gaining recognition when he featured on the country's talent show New Faces in 1990.
He earned a record deal following the series, but it wasn't until five years later that his iconic track, Mysterious Girl, was released.
The tune shot to number two on the on the charts, followed by his number one album Natural which dropped a year later.
It wasn't until around nine years later however that Peter experienced another increase in popularity when he featured on the 2004 series of ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, where he met Katie Price.
The pair struck up a whirlwind romance during their time in the jungle, and tied the knot the following year.
Their marriage lasted around four years with the couple splitting in 2009, with it long rumoured that Peter and Katie split over her close relationship with dressage rider Andrew Gould.
And just weeks ago Katie, now 47, revealed the truth about the speculation during an appearance on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast.
'We broke up because he thought I was having an affair with my dressage rider, and I've never slept with him. I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married,' she said.
'But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, "That's it. I've had enough. I've had enough". It got to a point where I went, "Well f***ing divorce me". And I remember the day, because then I flew to the Maldives with the kids.
'That day, I'm at the airport, it's all on Sky News, it wasn't mutual at all. And then I released a statement saying I don't want to split with Pete, it's Pete that's splitting with me. Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it.
'It's all through lawyers. I've never sat down with him, we probably would've sorted it out but we were kept apart.'
And Peter later opened up about navigating exes and break ups in his column for Now! Magazine.
Addressing Zara McDermott's ex and new boyfriend coming face to face recently, he shared: 'Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson were both at Soccer Aid together for an incredible cause. The fact they've both been involved with Zara McDermott at some point is secondary for me.
'I think people will always try to make a fuss about dramas with exes, but we don't know what happened, and having been part of Soccer Aid in the past, I know people just focus on the game and the cause, everything else is left off the pitch. That's how it should be.'
Peter later found love again with Dr Emily MacDonagh, 35, with the couple tying the knot in 2015.
They went onto welcome three children, Amelia, 11, Theodore, eight, Arabella, one, while Andre also shares Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, with Katie.
