HE wowed the Britain's Got Talent judges 15 years ago as a fresh-faced youngster with impressive street dance moves.

Fast-forward to the present day and Aidan Davis, 27, is unrecognisable from the young TV hopeful he once was.

Now a dad-of-one, Aidan has packed on muscle under the watchful eye of his trainer dad.

In a recent Instagram video the pair can be seen pumping iron in the gym.

Dad Leroy studies his son's form as he does lateral dumbbell raises to boost his shoulders.

Now with a bushy beard, Aidan has put on some serious mass and on his dad's page, it's made clear he's in bulking mode.

Leroy wrote in one post: "Putting the young bull through a Shoulder & Tricep session."

When he's not lifting, Aidan can be found rapping and goes by the name Charlilui.

Aged 12, Brummie Aidan sailed through the semi-finals but came fifth in the final, which was won by Diversity with Susan Boyle as runner-up.

He still counts Diversity leader Ashley Banjo as a friend on social media.

Back in 2009 and sporting a bright blue hoodie, Aidan impressed judges with his fancy footwork to Flo Rida's Low.

Judge Amanda Holden said he "blew her away" with his performance.

Simon Cowell added: "I think you're better than any dancer on this show, you are super, super, super talented."

Aidan didn't let defeat knock him back, instead he hit the recording studio.

He collaborated with Jon Dos for his first single, Let's Dance, and released tracks Breakup and Couldn’t Care Less in 2016.

After the show he joined Diversity on tour as well as teaming up with the crew on the official BGT tour.
