BACK TO REALITY MTV star who found fame 20 years ago looks unrecognisable guess who it is?
She has two multi-platinum albums in the UK – Woah, Nelly and Loose – as well as two number one singles.
First launching her career with the legendary I'm Like A Bird, Nelly has become one of the defining performers of the early 2000s.
Appearing before Central Cee headlined the event, Nelly became a must-watch set as she gave it her all on stage, hiding her eyes behind tinted sunglasses and wearing her hair in a super long and slick ponytail.
Last year, she released her seventh studio album, aptly titled 7, which she worked closely on with her eldest child.
Since first topping the charts, Nelly has become a mother of three – a 21-year-old daughter Nevis with Jasper Gahunia, and a seven-year-old daughter and six-year-old son with rapper Hodgy.
'I'm lucky [Nevis] comes in the studio with me and helps me out as well,' she told the Call Her Daddy podcast in November last year.
'I didn't even recognise her!' say pop fans as 00s star dances on TikTok
'There's nothing better than having that creative connection with your child and being able to work on something special together.'
She added: 'It's been a journey—one we've taken together. Just like working on it together and growing in the process: Me rediscovering my passion for music in the studio, and her kind of discovering her own passion for it.'

Lydia Bright slammed for ‘parent-shaming' as she shares medical advice online
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TOWIE alum Lydia Bright has been called out for "parent shaming" after sharing medical advice online. The reality TV star, 34, came under fire following her latest Instagram post, which documented a day in her life as a busy mum. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 TOWIE alum Lydia Bright has been called out for 'parent shaming' Credit: Splash 6 It came after she shared medical advice online Credit: PA 6 Lydia linked the rise in ADHD diagnoses to an increased use of screen time Credit: Instagram It showed Lydia playing with her five year old daughter Loretta and cooking together while calling out the increased use of screen time among kids. The former TOWIE fan favourite admitted she was "far from the perfect parent" yet hailed the "routines" she sticks to with Loretta to keep her away from tablets, including "books before bed." Lydia partnered with organisation Health Pros for Safer Screens for her video, yet some fans took issue with one claim in which she linked increased screen time to a "27 per cent rise children struggling with speech and language." She added: "ADHD diagnoses have soared by 56 per cent and one in four 10 year olds are now living with obesity." Fans weren't impressed with the link to ADHD, which is a common condition that affects people's behaviour. The disorder, which is often diagnosed in childhood, often sparks symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. The ADHD Foundation reveals that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common childhood conditions. One angry follower was quick to comment on Lydia's post and wrote: "Screens don't cause ADHD. The ADHD is already there, so tired of this false narrative just so you can post an ad. Inaccurate and offensive." A second posted: "ADHD is genetic, this will make parents feel awful by saying that screen time caused it!" A third mused: "I have to comment but as far as I am aware ADHD isn't related to screen time, it's genetics." Lydia Bright reveals daughter, five, is still co-sleeping One then wrote: "Throwing ADHD in the mix is not good. The only reason ADHD diagnosis is up is because it's being recognised now unlike a few years ago they said it was bad parenting. "Please only post the truth it's important. I agree with you too many parents can you screen time and it's not good for children." Another mused: "I'm sorry you haven't been given the correct information about ADHD having specialised and worked with children and young adults. "It's going to offend the hard working parents and guardians alike . ADHD isn't related to screens!" What is neurodiversity? You may have heard of autism and ADHD before. These conditions come under the umbrella term of neurodiversity. Neurodiversity is a term that refers to the natural variation in how human brains work. It is rooted in the idea that neurological differences, such as those associated with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette's syndrome, and other conditions, are a normal and valuable part of human diversity rather than deficits or disorders that need fixing. Rather, society should find ways to be more inclusive and accommodating, such as in schools and the workplace. Here's a closer look at two of the key conditions: ADHD ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals focus, regulate their impulses, and manage their energy levels. Symptoms depend on the type; inattention causes challenges with focusing, organisation and time management, hyperactivity causes excessive energy or restlessness, and impulsivity causes a person to act without thinking or struggle to wait their turn. People can be predominately one type or a mix of the two and symptoms are varied and unique to individuals. While living with ADHD is challenging, people often find unique strengths within their condition, such as the ability to hyperfocus on something they find interesting, problem-solving skills and creativity. Autism Autism is described as a "spectrum" because it encompasses a wide range of traits and abilities. Common features include difficulty with social communication, such as reading facial expressions or tone, repetitive behaviours and routine, sensitivity to stimulation of the senses, e.g. bright lights or loud noises, and detailed, literal thinking. Autism can be challenging, including due to a lack of understanding. But there are key strategies to help those with it thrive. In her caption, Lydia offered more insight in her new collaboration. She wrote: "We're in the middle of a public health crisis that isn't being talked about. Ad* "I believe so many parents aren't aware of the developmental, behavioural, physical, and emotional risks of excessive screen time in early childhood. "That's why I've teamed up with @healthprosforsaferscreens to help share the facts. This isn't about guilt tripping, we're all doing our best with the knowledge and tools we have. "But I believe that if parents really knew the dangers that would make different choices. "Which is why I think their free Summer of Connections e-book is a must-read for parents. "It's packed with evidence, information and realistic ideas to help families reduce screen time and support new routines, rituals and healthier childhood development. "Head to my stories or bio to download. *Partnering with #healthprosforsaferscreens to raise awareness of screen harms." FAN SLAM Recently, Lydia was mum-shamed for admitting she still co-sleeps with her daughter instead of her partner. She previously came under fire over a sweet video she posted of her five-year-old little girl. In the sweet clip, Loretta - whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin - could be seen fast asleep next to her mum. However, some cruel trolls said she should not be letting her child sleep next to her, if she wants to find a new man. She was also mum-shamed after letting her daughter climb on plane seats. 6 Fans were quick to flag the condition is genetic 6 Lydia told of the 'routines' she uses with daughter Loretta to reduce screen time in her new Instagram campaign Credit: instagram/lydiabright

Nelly Furtado's new life as body positivity champion and ADHD advocate
Earlier this year, Nelly Furtado spoke out about her looks - professing her 'self-love and genuine confidence' after dramatic changes to her body and overall image. The popstar, 46, who shot to fame in 1996, has been lauded of late for her 'gorgeous curves' and 'refreshing attitude' after she shared an Instagram post about choosing the natural route for her body and her looks Posing in a bikini in January, the singer showed off her fuller figure - thus earning her status as a body confident personality following her return to the spotlight after a six year hiatus in which she focused on motherhood. Nelly is a mother-of-three and had her youngest children in her 40s, while also working alongside her older daughter. The singer has been open about discussing the delicate balance between her busy career and motherhood. As well as her advocacy for body image, Nelly became an advocate for ADHD sufferers when she revealed her diagnosis in 2023 in her first magazine shoot in six years - winning her even more praise from fans. BODY IMAGE Nelly has received widespread praise for her attitude towards body confidence, having said: 'It's perfectly OK to be OK with what you see in the mirror'. Having posed in a bikini in January, she also shared an encouraging post which empowered her fans. In her post earlier this year, Nelly wrote: 'HAVE A BODY NEUTRAL 2025, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, LOVE WITH EVERY INCH OF YOUR HEART THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES THIS YEAR... 'This year I became aware of the aesthetic pressure of my work in a brand new way, while simultaneously I experienced new levels of self -love and genuine confidence from within... 'I had to pursue some legal action against a few charlatans online selling services based on selling health and beauty myths about me . 'For whoever cares , I have never had any face or body surgeries or augmentation, besides for veneers on the top row of my teeth , quite recently... 'So far, I have not had any face or lip injections or fillers of any kind , but I do have a loving , old school facialist who I purchase serums and creams from and I started that when I was 20. The day before photo shoots and red carpets , I drink a lot of water and sleep on my back... 'Sometimes on the red carpet or at photo shoots my makeup artist uses face tape to give my eyes , skin and makeup more lift. Sometimes my stylist uses body tape to give a certain look to different silhouettes . 'Body makeup can also sometimes be contoured to achieve a certain look. Makeup can do magical things ! So can great eyebrows ! So can a great hairstylist ! So can great underthings! 'These photos I have no makeup and there is no editing or filters on these photos but I do have a spray tan ! I have spider veins and they remind me of my mom and aunties and life so I think that's why I haven't parted with them so far... 'My New Year's message for 2025, is express yourself freely , celebrate your individuality and know that it's perfectly OK to be OK with what you see in the mirror , and it's also OK to want something different . We are all cute little humans just bouncing around the earth looking for hugs'. Confident girl: The singer's fans were impressed with her positive message Nelly continued: 'PS- this post is not intended to hate on anyone, I am just joining the storytelling community and this story is MINE'. Fans flooded social media with praise for the stunner, with users writing: 'This was the content I needed in this current Ozempic era... So so beautiful. Inside and out...' Another said: 'Stunning. Stunning. Stunning... Hermosa Nelly! That Portuguese heritage big hips, big legs, representing all of us women with Venus goddess bodies sculpted by God keep shining girl...' A third added: 'She looks AMAZING with her curves this is what REAL everyday women look like and should be normal to see anywhere... Far from shying away from fashion now she is in her 40s, Nelly professed her joy at having a 'glow-up' in recent years. She told Vogue: 'I'm having more fun [with my style] now! It's weird. I always knew that I would have a glow-up in my 40s, and I did!... 'Now that I'm 40, I've realized one thing about myself: When you have the right pieces in your closet, you can actually dress spontaneously and plan what your outfit is... 'I love fashion. I grew up in a fashion family of tailors and seamstresses, so we grew up wearing our Sunday best. Portuguese culture is very much about festival culture—you have to dress up for Festa and turn it out... '[Even today], if my mom doesn't like something I wore, I'll hear about it.' MOTHERHOOD Nelly has a daughter Nevis, who turns 22 next month, with her ex Jasper Gahunia. After the pair split she went on to marry sound engineer Demacio Castellon in July 2008 before separating from him in 2016. She has a daughter, seven, and son, six, with rapper Jerry. In 2006, when Nevis was two, Nelly spoke about how life as a single mother made her take work more seriously and have a greater focus. She said: 'It really made me take my job way more seriously, it made me think about my work ethic, it made me think more about providing for Nevis and her future.' On co-parenting, she said: '[Nevis' father and I] were together for four years and friends for five or six years before that. We're fully active co-parents and really close friends, so things are irie.' [Irie is a Jamaican noun for 'the ultimate positive']. Nelly does hope for more kids though, she said: 'Maybe in the next five years I'll get married, have more kids. One grandmother had eight kids, the other had 10. If I have that many kids, then I would need a husband.' In 2023, she discussed her desire to be an idol to other mums after her return to music, saying: ''I want to inspire other moms and women out there that, even in their 40s, you can re-embrace your talents and go for it'. After returning to the spotlight after a hiatus, she said: 'I am a mother, and it is part of my identity, but I'm also the mother of my creativity and art... 'That also needs to be nurtured. Being an artist is my purpose. So I had to learn to let go of that guilt, which is very difficult as a mom. But you need to live the change that you would like.' ADHD DIAGNOSIS In 2023, Nelly publicly revealed she had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder 18 months previously. Offering an insight into her diagnosis, Nelly said she had been diagnosed as an adult and hasn't been 'overly dramatic about it,' instead focusing on 'finding solutions' to manage the condition. She later said: 'So now I've been using choreography and getting in the dance studio as a natural way of dealing with my ADHD. I find the discipline really helps my brain... 'The good news is I'm getting to know my brain really well. I love talking about it, so I'm hoping to share my experience with people and have conversations about it.' ADHD is a mental disorder that affects behavior. People with the condition feel restless, may have trouble concentrating and can act impulsively. Most cases are diagnosed in children between three and seven years old, but sometimes it is diagnosed later in childhood - or even adulthood. People with ADHD may also have additional problems such as sleep and anxiety disorders.
