EastEnders actress Jessie Wallace looks completely unrecognisable as she posts an incredible childhood snap.
The 50-year-old shared the photo which was taken in 1975 – when she was just four-years-old.
The soap star, who has appeared in EastEnders on and off for over two decades, can be seen holding a monkey in Walthamstow market.
She jokingly penned alongside the major throwback snap: “I’m the one in the flares!”
Her fans were quick to comment on the post telling her how “cute” she was.
One said: “You are absolutely beautiful then and now.”
Another wrote: “That’s such an amazing pic so cute x.”
“The absolute cuteness I’m torn between who’s cuter you or the monkey,” added a third.

Jessie, whose real name is Karen, was born in 1971 in Enfield.
She was raised be her father after her parents got divorced when she was only three.
Her youthful appearance caused fans to be in shock after she celebrated her 50th birthday last year.
The actress first started in Albert Square as the rowdy big-mouthed Kat, who appeared alongside the rest of the Slater family in 2000.

Jessie has been at the centre of some of the BBC soap’s biggest storylines with her character being revealed to be her “younger sister” Zoe’s mum.
She even bagged herself a spin-off show Redwater with the Queen Vic landlord Alfie Moon after viewers fell in love with the double-act.
Jessie is not the only BBC soap star to have recently shared a glimpse into her life, as Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis shared an insight of her returning to EastEnders following the competition.

Rose, who plays Frankie Lewis, took some time away from acting to “focus” on competing on Strictly, which seemed to pay off as she and professional dancing partner Giovanni Pernice lifted the Glitterball trophy.
She told Metro.co.uk: “Normally, EastEnders makes you work at the same time as doing Strictly, but EastEnders gave me time off, so I can just focus on Strictly completely.”
Sharing a snap to social media, Rose said: “Frankie is back!”
