A 90s heartthrob looked worlds away from his West End heyday as he was snapped in Essex this weekend.
Donning a leather jacket over an all-black ensemble, the star, 57, added a heavy chain around his neck during a shopping trip, but would you recognise him?
It’s Darren Day behind the brand new look, with the singer and actor snapped visiting a jewellery store near his home.
The star is best known for his bright blonde locks and clean-shaven look, but is now sporting a beard and moustache.
He was spotted enjoying an energy drink during the solo outing whilst popping into several shops, holding a tote bag and small cactus.
It comes after Darren became a grandfather earlier this year, with his 21-year-old son Corey welcoming his first child, a son named Colton, with girlfriend Erin Mitchell.
Darren shares Corey with former Hear’Say singer Suzanne Shaw, whom he split from in 2005 following a whirlwind romance.
Suzanne and Darren had a short-lived romance in the early noughties, with the latter leaving soap star Suzanne when Corey was just seven weeks old.
Darren began a romance with Suzanne in 2003, while he was still engaged to fellow actress Adele Vellacot.
He then split from Adele and began a relationship with Suzanne, with the pair staying together for 18 months and even getting engaged.
But in 2005, on Mother’s Day, Darren famously walked out on Suzanne and Corey.
They became grandparents for the first time in March following Colton’s birth, and shared snaps together from hospital to show they were friendly exes – despite the historic drama.
Darren has had a famously tumultuous love life which has included six engagements – with the actor hailed as one of showbiz’s most notorious womanisers.
However, he has been with other half Sophie Ladds since 2017, getting engaged back in 2020.
Darren is also still performing on stage and recently appeared in a pantomime production of Mother Goose for Easter.
