He openly wears make-up and has had veneers to brighten his smile.

And on Tuesday, Rylan Clark unveiled his freckles and natural skin as he opted to forgo make-up for a rare fresh faced selfie posted to Instagram without any filters.

The former X Factor star, 33, looked drastically different to his typical heavily made-up self as he ditched the foundation and contouring for a stripped-back shot.

The star previously divided fans after revealing his first set of veneers in 2013, shortly after finding fame as a contestant on The X Factor. 

He told Notebook magazine: ‘I got my veneers finished the day before I started hosting Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, my first presenting job.

‘My mouth was swollen from the anaesthetic, they were brilliant-white, brand new. That was the first night everyone saw them , and all people did was take the p**s out of my teeth.

‘So no one realised I was a s*** presenter, and by the time they stopped talking about my teeth a few months later, I’d got better at the job.’
