Educating Yorkshire star Musharaf wowed the nation with his emotional assembly speech, but he looks dramatically different these days.
Musharaf, 25, shot to fame on the Channel 4 education show in 2013, and he famously worked to overcome his stammer by standing up in assembly and delivering a speech in front of his school peers.
Now, almost a decade after the show aired, he’s all grown up and has graduated from university.
Proud Musharaf, also known as Mushy, shared a snap of him standing in his graduation robes at the University of Huddersfield.
The TV star has since matured into a handsome man – and he’s even sporting a beard.

Speaking to his followers, Mushy revealed he was ‘so proud’ of his achievements and thanked his teachers for changing his life.
He wrote: “From sitting in the classroom and contemplating if life would ever accept me for having a stammer, to going to university and graduating.
“I can’t sum up in words how proud I am and how much my teachers’ changed my life.
“You can truly achieve anything you put your mind to!”

Seeing Mushy’s achievement, followers flocked to congratulate the star.

A third commented: “I remember watching the programme where you were the star and crying happy tears.”
Another added: “Congratulations! I watched you on TV all those years ago and wept with happiness at your achievement then.
“You are an inspiration.”
