‘Ibiza Final Boss' is unrecognisable in throwback pic from long before viral fame – and WITHOUT iconic shades & stubble
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) "IBIZA Final Boss" Jack Kay has been pictured for the first time without his iconic shades and stubble - and it's quite a sight. A throwback pic of Final Boss has been unearthed, from even before the days of the bowl-cut trim. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay, far right, looks completely different in old snaps RIP FROM 8 'Ibiza Final Boss' Jack Kay, far right, is virtually unrecognisable in this throwback pic 8 The British social media megastar spent the weekend celebrating his new found fame at a £9million mansion in Ibiza Credit: Instagram The snap shows Jack lined up with his three of his mates in a boozer. He's the only one with a pint in front of him and he's clearly been tucking into it. Young Jack stares down the camera with narrowed eyes and with his arm around one of his pals. His signature black vest has been replaced with a basic black tee - and the lack of a fat gold chain is another glaring difference. But there's a flick of the same pout he wore while grooving around in the original viral clip last week. A second pic shows Jack looking much more like the Ibiza Boss we all know so well, but again without the specs. Jack hasn't been pictured once without his sunnies since shooting to fame, donning them even when The Sun caught up with him in his barbers back home. The blacked-out shades have also remained glued to his face after he zoomed back out to the party island in a £5million private jet. Since returning to his stomping ground, Jack has embraced his new found fame with wild parties at a £9million mansion called The Blue Stone Villa. Tucked away in the hills of Ibiza, the glitzy gaff comes with a large outdoor swimming pool, private chef and its own indoor nightclub.

He's even had a run-in with controversial adult performer Bonnie Blue - leaving fans questioning whether they could have collaborated on some content. She flew to the White Island for an impromptu rendezvous with Jack, and a vid shows the moment they awkwardly hug in the villa garden. Jack's new found fame was on full display on Saturday as he invited 100 of his fans, who he described as "charvas", to the villa. 8 Jack even took a dip in the mansion's swimming pool as he held a girl up on his shoulders Credit: Instagram 8 Jack's fame kicked off when a video of him dancing in Ibiza went viral Credit: TikTok/@zerosixwestibiza 8 Jack has been staying in the mega five-bedroom mansion, The Blue Stone Villa Credit: instagram/@thebluestone_ibiza Popular DJs Deniz Menendez and Rsquared performed for the surging crowds all as Jack embraced the party vibes. Just 24 hours later, the partying continued for Jack as he hosted a second bumper event at the holiday home with a host of new mates. One of those who made an appearance has already made headlines this summer after he was a part of FC Barcelona star Yamine Yamal's 18th birthday party. The teen sensation landed himself in hot water and is reportedly facing a government investigation after he allegedly hired people with dwarfism to perform. Juan Alberto Duaso says he was one of five dwarfs at the bash with him now making an appearance alongside Jack in Ibiza. 8 Juan Alberto Duaso. one of five dwarfs at Yamal's birthday bash, dressed up like Jack for an appearance in Ibiza Credit: Instagram 8 Jack shot to fame overnight after clip went viral Credit: instagram/@ Duaso was filmed sporting a bowl cut wig and mirroring Jack as the influencer described him as a "mini" version of himself.

The song is bouncy and upbeat, making it perfect for clubbing or dancing in Ibiza. Fans have already gone wild over the new track.

"Bosses had talks with his management, it is very late in the casting process for housemates but everyone thought worth a chat whether it be in time for this series, even as part of a task, or for the future. 'Jack's reps Neon Management have been inundated with offers for him so he's certainly going to be busy for at least the next few months. 'They've seen an unprecedented level of interest in him, and that's the nation loves him.'

Insiders reveal what Andy Carroll's family REALLY think about ex Lou Teasdale after pair's holiday drama & ‘toxic' split
The former England ace's ex-girlfriend broke her silence on claims her friends 'hate' Andy after bubbling tension behind closed doors NOT A KEEPER Insiders reveal what Andy Carroll's family REALLY think about ex Lou Teasdale after pair's holiday drama & 'toxic' split Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Andy Carroll's turbulent relationship with Lou Teasdale finally ended, there were more sighs of relief than shocked gasps from the footballer's loved ones. Ever since the breakdown of his two-year marriage to long-term partner Billi Mucklow, those close to the dad-of-five have secretly worried behind the scenes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Andy Carroll with his ex Lou Teasdale Credit: instagram 5 Andy with his parents, ex Billi Mucklow and their three kids Credit: Instagram The couple's 'toxic' romance, pals say, took its toll on the ex Premier League striker - who's gone through one of the toughest years of his life yet. Despite the painful break-up, it's hoped this - and his recent return to England playing for Dagenham & Redbridge - will be the fresh start Andy needs to get back to being himself. An insider told The Sun: 'Behind all the glitz and glamour on social media, Andy's been really going through it. 'He was recently on a family holiday with Lou and his parents, talking about the future now he's back home in England. 'It's undeniable that Andy misses parts of how his life once was. "He's become dependent on Lou who has undoubtedly been there for him, but everyone can see they don't bring out the best in each other. 'It's been very toxic for a long time, which Andy's loved ones have seen first-hand. 'They've been worried about the dynamics of their relationship. They like Lou, but little things would often turn into big arguments. 'It came from a place of passionate, intense love, as there's so much deep feeling there between them, but ultimately it just doesn't work. 'Their fallouts in public would cause a scene. So much so, the police were even called out in Mykonos. 'Everyone who loves Andy just wants him to get back to himself, in a happy and more stable place.' Ex-England star Andy Carroll DUMPS Lou Teasdale after police quiz over boozy rows as he tells pals he's 'sick' of her Holiday drama The ex-couple got together weeks after he split from Towie star Billi, mum to three of his five kids, in summer 2024. But they called it quits two months after Andy was twice-quizzed by cops over drunken bust-ups with Lou on the Greek party island of Mykonos. He was warned after their first argument at a beachside restaurant, then taken to the police station after a second row at their hotel that evening. Andy was not arrested, and it is understood that no further action was taken. Yesterday, we told of their fiery break-up after their clashing lifestyles reached boiling point. Sources said teetotal Lou would prefer Andy to quit drinking - and hoped to work through their issues. 5 Andy poses with Lou Teasdale at his signing on a free transfer for non-league side Dagenham & Redbridge in July Credit: Ian Whittaker 5 The footballer is back playing in England after leaving France Credit: Getty She slapped down reports that her friends 'hated' Andy - insisting they had nothing but love for the former Newcastle footballer. 'Nasty and not true', said Lou - who counts pop star Harry Styles as a close pal - in a post on Instagram. The celebrity make-up artist was wiped off Andy's social media before news of their split broke. But she has kept loved-up snaps of them together on Instagram - even though he unfollowed her. Our source added: "Andy has been adamant that he just wants to focus on football and his kids. "But he still has so much love for Lou, so friends are worried they'll both be dragged back into the toxic relationship. "They're both taking time to work out their next steps. Andy needs to find what makes him truly content and happy."

Love Is Blind UK fans have 'bad feeling' about season 2 couple after 'telling comment'
Love Is Blind UK season 2 is underway, with the cracks already starting to show for some couples on the Netflix series. *Warning - this article contains spoilers for Love Is Blind UK season 2.* Love Is Blind UK fans have been left divided over one couple, with some hoping they will go the distance and others predicting heartbreak. It comes after Netflix dropped the first four episodes of season 2 this week, with a fresh batch of British singles looking for love in the pods. One Love Is Blind pair that quickly became fan favourites were 29-year-old medical company owner Sarover and 31-year-old gym owner Kal. The couple have already faced a few obstacles, as they respectively come from Indian and Pakistani backgrounds, which they acknowledged could make it harder for their families to accept their romance. However, Kal and Sarover decided their connection was strong enough for them to overcome these difficulties and became engaged in the pods. Everything was going well when the pair jetted off to Cyprus, but things took a turn when Kal admitted Sarover was 'not his usual type'. This comment was clearly playing on Sarover's mind, as when they met the other couples in the process, she admitted that the comment had made her less sure of his physical attraction towards her. Fans were also concerned for the couple, with many taking to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to voice their thoughts. One wrote: 'Kal better not break Sarover's heart! She's a gorgeous girl… he is giving me a bad feeling with her not being his 'type'.' A second penned: 'Kal needs to stop singing about Sarover not being his type, like we get it, don't make the girl feel insecure.' While a third agreed: 'Kal is going to annoy me this season I don't want Saraover to feel insecure because she's absolutely stunning!' 'Is it me or Kal is not into Sarover… Sad because she seems so nice,' another lamented, as another pointed out: 'Ya'll couldn't tell Kal wasn't into Sarover at the reveal? He barely complimented her.' One more added: 'The kisses between Kal and Sarover seem a bit forced lmaoooo idk something is off with him.' However, Kal and Sarover also have plenty of supporters, with one person writing: 'Hold on, Kal and Sarover's first date was so cute. I'm rooting for them.' 'Kal and Sarover are my ship. I hope they go the distance,' a second tweeted, as another concurred: 'Sarover and Kal you've won me over already.' 'Rooting for Kal and Sarover, they're so pure,' yet another added, as one more thoughtfully wrote: 'Kal and Sarover. Super chill and beautiful. 'I'm looking forward to seeing how you both navigate your cultural differences. Their reveal… Gorgeous, gorgeous.' Nevertheless, Netflix viewers remain divided, with one more writing: 'I actually hope Kal and Sarover work out but idk I just don't see it.' The first four episodes of Love Is Blind UK season 2 are available to stream now on Netflix.
