Remember the spikey, spirit in the sky, twinky Gareth Gates? Well he’s changed so much.
So he was the guy who gave Will Young a run for his money in the first series of the UK version of Pop Idol – and eventually ended up as the runner up of the show as he made the entire UK fall in love with him and his trademark spiky hairdo… That was in 2002.
Now, 14 years on, Gareth has turned into a very dishy looking man.

He’s been hanging out with his lady friend, Faye Brookes, in New York and it seems as though they’re worried about being spotted in Times Square. During a quick mini bicker about packing too many clothes, Faye turns to Gareth and says, “we’d better pipe down before someone recognises us”.
Gareth quickly pops on his sunglasses and suddenly no one is none the wiser.
