WHAT a transformation.
Let me remind you of a better time, the year of 2009.
Britain was still happy to be a part of Europe and Obama was the President of the United States – but most importantly, Britain’s Got Talent was an unmissable TV show on the TV most weeknights.
One act on the talent competition that we can never forget, even after all these years is Diversity, a dance troupe founded by dance genius Ashley Banjo.
The group wowed and astounded us with their synchronised robotic dance moves, front flips, side flips, back flips all served with a side of cheeky humour.
One member of the group always stood out was one of the smallest dancers in the group with unmistakable afro hair, Perri Kiely.
The tiny dancer (who was only 14 at the time) was a constant source of entertainment in the group but seven years later, while Perri has kept the afro, he certainly look a lot er.. cough.. different.
At the age of 21, Perri has a six pack to call his own and now spends his time running, dancing and just being one cool dude.
Strike a pose!!?…For all the ladies out there, My buns better than yours??! #holidayvibes #mykonos

The dancer has still remained friends with his dancemates Ashley and Jordan Banjo which is probably the most heart-warming thing you’ll read today.
For one last moment, let’s take a look at how cute he used to be though. Awwww.
