Ibiza Final Boss looks unrecognisable years before viral 'Turkey teeth' fame
Jack Kay, the viral sensation known as the 'Ibiza Final Boss', is barely recognisable in an amazing throwback photo that shows his pre-fame appearance. It's difficult to picture the 26 year old from Newcastle without his iconic 'Lego' haircut, shiny 'Turkey teeth', and trademark oversized sunglasses. However, a recently revealed snap has given fans a glimpse of Jack's look before he became an Ibiza legend. In the unearthed picture, a youthful Jack is seen having a pint with his mates, and it's quite a challenge to spot him among the group of lads. The party-goer, who shot to fame for his 'Battle of Hastings' bob while busting moves in Ibiza, is casually draped over a friend as they strike a pose in front of a fruit machine. Jack is sporting a simple short back and sides hairstyle, a far cry from the medium skin fade that he's known for after a TikTok video of him dancing racked up over 26 million views. The timing of the photo, shared with The Mirror and the Daily Star, is uncertain, but Jack looks to be in his late teens. Another more recent photo shows him with defined facial hair and a longer top, yet still not quite at his ultimate Ibiza Boss level, reports the Mirror. Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay looks completely different in old snaps. (Image: Supplied) Jack, second from right, pictured with pals before mastering his iconic style (Image: Supplied) This comes as "Boss fever" sweeps through Ibiza. Jack has capitalised on his viral fame by organising nightclub tours on the island and has even been spotted shooting a quick video with the infamous adult entertainer Bonnie Blue. He's reportedly set to launch a music career, aiming to elevate his fame even further. Jack has featured on a new dance track that dropped on Spotify this week, following his signing with a management team. In other news, a die-hard fan has inked a tattoo of his face on their leg, and an artist in Nottingham has crafted a mural of Jack near a skatepark. Jack became an overnight sensation after Zero Six West Ibiza shared a TikTok video of him grooving at a club in a chain and black tank top, beverage in hand. The clip went viral, racking up millions of views and spawning countless memes and jokes. Brands like Greggs and EasyJet quickly jumped on the bandwagon, creating marketing spoofs of the meme, and he earned the nickname "Ibiza Final boss", alluding to the ultimate challenge in a video game. Jack's social media presence has exploded, now boasting over 120,000 followers on Instagram and more than 800,000 likes on TikTok. But it's not all 'eat sleep, rave repeat' for the Geordie bloke; there seems to be a bit of strife in his personal life. He's said to be struggling to keep his relationship with his stunning girlfriend Alisha Cook afloat, as she 'dumped' him due to his partying antics. The 'split' is said to have occurred while Jack was in Ibiza, just before his sudden leap to fame. Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay looks completely different in old snaps The Geordie raver is reportedly fighting to save his relationship with Alisha Cook. (Image: Instagram) It's believed that Jack had been "skating on thin ice" with Alisha even before the trip to Ibiza, which ultimately pushed their relationship to breaking point. A pal of Jack spilled the beans to Mail Online, revealing: "Alisha called it off when Jack went to Ibiza with the lads. They'd been together for almost a year, and he was living at her place, but things hadn't been right for months." The mate dished out more details, saying: "His car is still on her drive, she threw all his clothes in the back of it. She doesn't want him around anymore. She's had inklings that something was not right for a while. She just wants to wash her hands of him. Alisha is so beautiful. No one is quite sure what she saw in him." Despite the fiery 'split', it seems the pair have smooched and made up as Jack's fame took a sudden leap. Alisha dropped a hefty hint that they're an item again with her TikToks last week, where she dubbed herself as his girlfriend. In a cheeky video titled "POV: ya boyfriend's now known as Ibiza Final Boss", Alisha and Jack appear quite cosy, hinting at a possible patch-up. These videos have since gone private, stirring up even more gossip; however, a confidant of Jack's has confirmed the duo are trying to make it work once more.

Meet the Limerick teacher whose witty TikTok sketches captivate millions worldwide
Now, with over 200,000 followers on TikTok and more than 12.2 million likes, his sharp sketches and uncanny impressions are global, yet the man behind them still spends part of his week in a primary school classroom. Originally from Cappagh, his formative years were inspired by his late brother, who brought out his comedic side from a young age. 'I was just trying to be like him, really,' Séamus shares with the Irish Independent. Growing up, quintessentially Irish shows like Father Ted, Gift Grub and Après Match, shaped his blossoming sense of humour. 'I probably got into it just doing impressions, around home and then in secondary school. I'd do impressions of the teachers that continued into college and I started making videos of different characters.' At first, those videos never saw the light of day beyond a few trusted friends. Worried about offending people, he kept his comedy behind closed doors, but that all changed when lockdown hit. The turning point for the West Limerick man came with his first video. '[It] was an impression of Simon Harris and it got like 700,000 views,' he says. From that point on, 'the cat was out of the bag'. Suddenly, the rural teacher was a viral name, but despite his success, he remains a one-man band. 'Everything I do is on my own,' he admits. 'I write everything, I record everything, I edit everything, I post everything, it can be quite lonely.' To counter this, he enjoys keeping a routine as best he can. From teaching to farming and filming in spare time, he notes, 'all it takes is one video to change the trajectory.' One such video arrived in the least glamorous setting imaginable. 'When I posted my first Irish language video I did not expect it to do well,' he laughs, recalling: 'I was on the farm covering a pit of silage with my dad and my phone was exploding, everybody loved the video, it was completely unexpected.' Known for an accent that's become part of his online persona, he shares that it began almost as a disguise. 'I was quite conscious about my own voice, I ended up putting on a thick Limerick city accent, which was probably inspired by the Rubberbandits. We used to love their prank calls years ago.' He thought this was why his audience enjoyed his work. 'A month later, the penny dropped, it was because of the content,' he smiles. For all the highs, there can be quiet disappointments. 'If a video doesn't do well, it probably affects me more than if a video does well, but nobody else really cares that much,' he reflects, adding: 'The world of social media is very fickle so once I post a video I never actually watch it again.' These days, Séamus is stepping into stand-up, a hustle that brings all the same risks as uploading a video, only without the added safety of the delete button: 'I'm just trying to build up confidence and build up experience. 'At the moment, I'm figuring out that comedy is very unpredictable, but that's just the nature of it and it's good to challenge yourself.' The nerves before his first big support slot in Limerick city for comedian Michael Fry nearly rattled him, but once the Dolans crowd laughed, he knew he'd crossed a line he couldn't uncross. Now, between gigs in Tralee and Cork, trips to the Edinburgh Fringe, and the odd post while piking silage, he's learning to find balance between the public stage and a fiercely private life. While his videos may reach millions, at the end of the day, Séamus still prefers to put his phone down and quietly retreat to his home in Cappagh – shop or no shop.
