Noughties playboy who dated a string of Page 3 models including Katie Price and Rhian Sugden and even married Jodie Marsh is unrecognisable now - and leading a VERY different life
Noughties model heartthrob and ex playboy Matt Peacock now looks completely unrecognisable after his brief brushes with fame - and is leading a very different life.
Matt, 42, - who is most famous for his relationships with Katie Price and Jodie Marsh - is still a successful model and posts many of his campaigns to his Instagram page.
And after failed romances with the likes of former glamour model Katie, Rhian Sugden and ex wife Jodie, he is now happily married to wife Rachael, who he wed in 2016. The pair welcomed a daughter called Lily in 2018.
Now he looks wildly different from his noughties lothario character - having ditched his dyed blonde locks and opting for a clean cut brunette look.
Settled down with a family he appears to live a wholesome life in the countryside near his native Manchester which is a far cry from his old playboy lifestyle.

Having a clear love for fitness he often snaps shirtless pictures from the gym, while also sharing sweet snaps and videos of his daughter and two dogs.
Matt and his wife are still mixing in celebrity circles as he is close with former Corrie star Ryan Thomas having shared snaps from his 40th birthday last June.
One snap showed Matt, his wife, Ryan and Ryan's fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh all posing together.
Matt, originally from Manchester began his career as a model.
He was on the books of agency Boss Model Management and starred in several high-profile campaigns. Matt is now signed to agency Model Team.
Just a few months after she welcomed her first son Harvey with ex Dwight Yorke in 2002, Katie Price managed to find another boyfriend in male model Matt.
The then 24-year-old star met 18-year-old tanning salon assistant Matt at a car show where she was modelling.
During their short romance, the couple holidayed together in Ayia Napa and did a joint interview for a glossy magazine.
At the time, Katie described him as 'my rock' as she came to terms with Harvey's health problems and was treated for Leiomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer on her finger.
He now lives a peaceful life in the countryside

But the couple split after just two months together after a big argument, with friends of Matt claiming at the time he struggled to deal with the media attention.
Soon after Katie began to date Peter Andre - with the pair marrying in 2005.
Katie was in a relationship when she met Peter. She was dating Scott Sullivan when she went on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2004.
It was during that show that she and Peter Andre fell in love and eventually married.
Matt then went on to date Katie's then rival Jodie.
The pair ended up marrying on reality TV show Totally Jodie Marsh: Who'll Take Jodie Marsh Up The Aisle? in 2007.
They wed in the Sugar Hut nightclub in Brentwood, Essex - which appears on show The Only Way Is Essex - but split three months later.
The breakdown of their relationship the following year led Matt to say that she only liked him because of his 2002 fling with Katie.
'I think the fact that I'd been out with [Katie] must have done it for Jodie,' he said at the time.
'She's obsessed with her.'
He added of the split: 'I want all my clothes that I left there. I don't know what she's doing with them, whether she's sniffing them or whatever.'
After splitting from Jodie, Matt started going out with the stunning Rhian Sugden.
They dated for around a year before splitting.
Glamour model and former Page Three girl Rhian was then thrust further into the spotlight for a texting affair she had with TV personality Vernon Kay in 2010 while he was married to Tess Daly.
Back in 2020 Matt opened up about why losing his hair made him think he'd also lose his modelling career.
He spent years successfully being the face of leading brands including Land Rover, Gigs Eyewear and wine firm Laithwaites.
But he was left worrying about his hair loss so opted to have a hair transplant.
He told The Manchester Evening News at the time: 'Losing my hair had been knocking my confidence for a few years and it was really affecting my day-to-day life.
'I felt so much pressure to look good and keep the modelling jobs coming in to pay my bills and keep a roof over my family's head.
'Social media can be a big problem too, with such an expectation of perfection. We live in such an image-obsessed world.'

EXCLUSIVE I lost five stone in a year and have kept it off by following five free unconventional rules: Anyone can do it and there's NO weight-loss jabs or gym required: NAOMI HOLBROOK
Naomi Holbrook, 50, remembers creeping down the stairs of her childhood home in Devon while everyone was sleeping to raid the kitchen cupboards. 'Mum was a brilliant home baker so there were always tins of flapjacks, sausage rolls and cheese straws that I couldn't resist. Both my parents were big on entertaining and if they'd had a dinner party, I'd also be in the fridge before breakfast helping myself to the 'naughty' leftovers. By the time I was eight years old my complex relationship with food had already begun.' A pupil at a 'competitive girl's school' where everyone else was 'slimmer and sportier', Naomi 'always felt like the big girl'.

RAF pilot's final flight in North Yorkshire after 45 years
An RAF pilot has said he was "quite emotional" after making his final solo flight after a 45-year flying career which saw him amass about 16,000 hours in the Lt Richard "Ricko" Offord, 64, from Richmond, North Yorkshire, first took to the skies for the air force in 1980 and has been based at RAF Leeming since his career, he piloted several different models of fast jet and in 1995 was forced to eject from his Tornado F3 after a mid-air Lt Offord said he was "a bit sad" about his retirement, and was saluted by fire engines upon landing at RAF Leeming and surprised by colleagues, family and friends, but added: "I've had a pretty good innings." After his final flight, Flt Lt Offord, who is RAF Leeming's longest serving fast jet pilot, said: "I started flying fighters in 1982. It's quite a long time, so I'm not too upset."However, he said his time in the sky had not fully come to an end."I'll carry on flying, but I can't do it in military planes," he explained."You can only do it up to age 65, unfortunately, and I'm 65 on Tuesday, so this is it." Asked about any dramatic incidents during his long career, Flt Lt Offord said: "I was once knocked out and woke up on the ground in Lincolnshire."We were doing air combat and I bumped into the other aircraft, so his tail and my wing came off. They don't fly very well without tails or wings."Pondering his lucky escape further, he added: "I didn't fly for a year due to back injuries, but all four of us ejected and everyone walked away, so that's the main thing."Speaking about the surprise welcoming committee and celebrations waiting for him after he landed for the final time in his Hawker Hunter at RAF Leeming, Flt Lt Offord said: "I had a little tear, to be fair.""I had no idea they were going to be here," he said."The whole reception with mates and fire engines, it's made me a bit emotional."

Watch the moment Stephen Mulhern is left red-faced as he makes HUGE blunder on Catchphrase puzzle
STEPHEN Mulhern made the ultimate slip-up during the latest episode of Celebrity Catchphrase. The TV host was seen on Saturday in the latest episode of the gameshow favourite, joined by Jeremy Vine, Charlie Hedges and comedian Luke Kempner. 6 6 As the group got to grips with the latest game – which shows famous sayings turned into cartoons for contestants to guess – Stephen found himself slipping up. Encouraging the gang to make a guess, the encouragement resulted in him accidentally spilling the answer himself. As the clip showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, Stephen declared: "Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!" The contestants then stood in silence for a second as an embarrassed Stephen clocked what he had said. Jeremy Vine eventually broke the silence, pressing his buzzer and asking: "Sorry, what? Was that the answer?" Stephen then embarrassingly nodded and burst into fits of laughter alongside the cast and studio audience. "I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!" he admitted. Luke Kempner then joked: "I was just thinking 'this is a very tricky one, if it's not that!" before declaring Stephen had won himself £200. "We've got a bit of Catchphrase history here!" added Jeremy, poking fun and adding: "Roy Walker never did that." Stephen was soon crying with laughter before eventually regaining his composure and continuing with the game. Watch as three celebs fail to work out popular Catchphrase - but would you have got it on first try? Hopefully Stephen has learned his lesson - considering the show has already been given the go-ahead for an 11th series. If the three celebrities can 'say what they see' they could get the chance to win £50,000 for their chosen charity. ITV commissioner Gemma John-Lewis said: "We're delighted to announce a further series of the much loved family favourite, Celebrity Catchphrase. "The only show where you say what you see, the hugely popular series continues to win legions of fans and with Stephen's infectious and playful humour it's a firm favourite with our viewers." It is good news for the star after his other ITV programme, In For A Penny, was shelved after six years. 6 6 6
