A past Britain’s Got Talent winner showed off his new look as he gets ready to wow crowds during the pantomime season, 17 years after finding fame as a teen
A former Britain’s Got Talent star looks almost unrecognisable 17 years after winning the ITV competition. George Sampson stunned the judges and British public with his amazing dance routines in 2008 aged just 14.
He quickly went on to gain success in the West End before trying his hand at a music career. He also released a DVD before his professional link-up with Simon Cowell came to an end almost a year after winning BGT.
He changed career paths again as he appeared on the small screen in acting form. He starred in StreetDance 3D and eventually landed roles in Waterloo Road and Emmerdale.

Now, he is preparing for another panto season this winter. He is starring in the production of Sleeping Beauty at the Rhyl Pavilion, alongside Sherrie Hewson. Fellow BGT star Jon Courtenay is also among the cast.
And it was a picture of him as a prince that showed his differing appearance. He was seen with his royal cape and long hair. It’s far from his first pantomime appearance, too. He has previously taken on classics like Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Robin Hood and Snow White.
Now 32, George also showed off his impressive moustache in a recent snap on Instagram. George was seen with his hair slicked back and wearing glasses and a Grinch jumper as he cuddled into his dogs. He captioned his upload: “Christmas jumpers with my babies.”
And fans were quick to comment on his image. “Why am I cutting onions?” wrote one user. Another added: “Omg cuties.”
In George’s private life, he has previously candidly disclosed undergoing three hair transplants. He had bemoaned his receding hairline on This Morning in the past and admitted o spending £9,000 on the first two surgeries.
And during a heart-to-heart with then hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford he revealed his satisfaction with the results. He told them: “I’m so happy. It’s difficult. I still get hundreds of men messaging me about it.”
The dancer described the struggle of facing baldness while feeling youthful: “I felt like an old man with a babyface, I had to wake up and look in the mirror and think I hate my hairline.”
He also referred to part of his scalp as a “landing strip of bare skin” and gave a nod to football icon Wayne Rooney’s own hair restoration, saying Rooney’s decision had inspired him. Additionally, George opened up about being diagnosed with alopecia, attributing the condition to stress, heredity factors, and the strain of performing head spins in his dance routine.
As well as his hair, George has changed his appearance with his inkings. George has created quite the visual impact with his tattoos. Once the poster boy for clean-cut youth, he has shifted gears and now shows off his full tattoo sleeves.
