He stripped to a yellow gym vest to show off his ripped new look in an interview for FUBAR Radio
It was the same season that saw contestants such as Cher Lloyd, One Direction and Rebecca Ferguson compete for the winner's title and, at the time, he sported shoulder-length locks and a striking black moustache.
Wagner, who was notoriously known as the oldest finalist, was eliminated in the quarter final but not before he showed off his striking look complete with beard and open-button shirts.
Back in 2022, we reported how Wagner had re-located overseas so he could "die in peace."
And three years on, after his return to the UK, he has changed up his striking appearance.
In a video interview for FUBAR Radio, he showcased his platinum blonde locks, still at their shoulder length, and in their natural waves.
While he's kept his moustache, it's now a natural silver shade and paired with a bushy beard.
Yet fans were left particularly distracted by his ripped physique, with Wagner giving a bicep curl to the camera for good measure.
His muscle definition could clearly be seen on his tattooed arms as he posed in a bright yellow vest.
Wagner was chatting to FUBAR host Andrew White and told how he had returned to the UK in December.
Yet he admitted he "couldn't stand" living in Brazil so sold his hair transplant clinic back to the Da Vinci business.

Back in 2022, we told how Wagner was leaving his Birmingham home and coming out of retirement to start up the business.
At the time, he said: "I love it here but I am going to Brazil to start a hair transplant business.
"I'm living proof that hair transplants work. I had mine eight years ago and I haven't lost anything. I lose more from the beard than my head.
"I'm going to be making so much money I'll be coming back to the UK. I'm only a flight away."
Speaking about his wife, who is 36 years his junior, he then added to The Mirror: "Once I die, (his wife) Lydia will communicate with the manager and I can die in peace now."
Wagner has also been selling custom videos to fans for just £10 - as he doesn't want to price anybody out.

I lost touch with cooking when I had my baby, just because I didn't have as much time. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'To be working alongside a chef, especially Jack, it is just a real treat. Jack is very chilled, which is nice, he's pleasant to be around.

Olly Murs and pregnant wife Amelia share gender update over new baby and birth plans
X Factor finalist Olly Murs and his wife Amelia are expecting their second baby later this year and have revealed how they plan to welcome their new baby into the world Singer Olly Murs and his pregnant wife Amelia are busy planning to welcome a new baby into their growing family - revealing it feels like a "very different pregnancy" this time around. The former X Factor star, 41, and Amelia, 32, tied the knot two years ago and already have their hands full with toddler Madison. Amelia experienced a difficult time while giving birth to Madison and faced a "brutal recovery". Aside from daddy duties, singer Olly has just wrapped up his latest tour and he continues to present his Heart FM weekend radio show alongside fellow M&S ambassador Mark Wrig ht. Ahead of becoming parents-of-two, the happy couple have become the new faces of The Parent Hood, M&S 's club for mums and dads. One of the fastest growing baby clubs in the UK, it is part of the high street chain's loyalty scheme, Sparks, and encourages young parents to meet up in M&S cafés to swap experiences over a cuppa and free slice of cake. Speaking about having an unplanned C-section with Madison during a chat to announce the new partnership, Amelia recalls: "We were planning a natural birth, but Madi was in a precarious position. "She was transverse [sideways] so we didn't have an option. The recovery was brutal and I wish people had been more honest about that. Maybe it's because I'm active, but I didn't realise how much I wouldn't be able to do afterwards." Olly and Amelia have opted not to discover the sex of their second baby until they arrive. "It's hard to tell, because I was convinced Madi was a boy. But I do think this one is a boy," Amelia predicts. "Obviously, that'd be cool, but I'm swaying more to thinking it's a girl. I'd love that, I genuinely would," Olly adds. "We're reaching the point where we have to make decisions. But this feels like a different pregnancy." "We know that this baby's not transverse, which is good," Amelia states, as Olly gushes: "We're very excited and announcing this thing with M&S has made it much more real. Two or three more weeks and we're gonna be right back at it!" Currently pregnant with another on the way, Amelia is currently riding a wave of emotions. "It changes week by week as I get closer to having the baby," she admits. "We can't wait to meet who's in there and see Madi with a sibling. But I get a bit overwhelmed when I think of having two under two." We can't wait to meet the new baby Murs too!
