It’s been 20 years since The Story Of Tracy Beaker catapulted onto our screens, so it’s no wonder that the cast looks a bit different.
But Chelsie Padley who portrayed Justine Littlewood’s best pal Louise Govern looks worlds away from her kid’s TV role two decades on.
Chelsie played the role of shy Louise when she was just 10 years old and from 2002 until 2004 – meaning she’s been out of the public eye for around 18 years.

Louise was a stereotypical girly girl in the kid’s TV show, with her loving all things pink and princess-y, and being blonde and naturally pretty.
20 years down the line though, the Louise actress looks so different to her on-screen stint.
Still blonde – although she has toned her hair with light pink hues in the past – Chelsie looks incredibly chic, stylish and grown-up now.

With over 20,000 followers on Instagram, the blonde beauty keeps her fans up-to-date with her life by posting selfies, workout videos and captions that exude a ton of positivity.
A recent caption she uploaded alongside a pouty selfie read: “BACK. YOUR. DAMN. SELF.
“Trust me when I say the only person you can rely on to make sh*t happen is you.
“People will let you down time and time again because they’re prioritising themselves (and that’s ok, why shouldn’t they, the world doesn’t revolve around you) but it shouldn’t shake you too much because you were prepared and put yourself first too….didn’t you?”

Adding: “No pity parties, just parties.”
Chelsie is majorly into fitness and has incredibly toned abs, a slender figure and prominent cheekbones – meaning she looks so different to her baby-faced days on the beloved kid’s show.
She hasn’t segued away from acting completely though, because just a few weeks ago she performed at the Goodwood Revival event.

Taking to Instagram to update her loyal legion of followers, Chelsie posted a slew of snaps from her time there playing the role of Susie on the 1960s film set.
She uploaded a snap when the event was all wrapped up to gush about her time there, writing: “Loved playing sassy Susie on this years 1960’s film set….and working with this lot was the absolutely cherry on top of the bakewell! Love you all x.”
