He is the British-born charmer who was matched with Sierah Swepstone on Married At First Sight this season.
And now, amazing throwback pictures have emerged of a youthful Billy Belcher.
The 31-year-old plasterer looks unrecognisable in the series of images that appear to date back more than a decade.

Another more recent photo of Billy shows the reality star rocking a rugged ‘street look’, in which he is wearing designer ripped jeans and a black baseball cap.
Billy also poses in a dark suit and roll neck sweater in another snap.

Fans were quick to comment on the pictures, with one viewer comparing Billy’s youthful appearance to the character of Reese in the US TV series Malcom in the Middle.
Another fan thought Billy had a boy band look in some of the images.
‘He looks like Liam [Payne] from One Direction in these,’ they wrote.
Billy’s time on MAFS was cut short after his relationship with Sierah crumbled.
The former couple decided to leave the experiment last month after their relationship became riddled with trust issues.
The final straw was a reported cheating scandal involving fellow groom Adrian Araouzou.
Sierah admitted to having a secret dinner with Adrian and Tony Mojanovski, but failed to disclose the outing to Adrian’s partner Awhina Rutene.
The revelation led to an emotional confrontation, with Billy feeling frustrated and blindsided.

‘I have to be honest, I feel a lot frustrated,’ Billy confessed at the ceremony.
‘I just feel like I’ve really retreated. I’ve got literally no deep connection from you, Sierah. I’ve got nothing.’
The tension escalated when accusations surfaced that Billy had previously suggested a ‘wife swap’, a claim that shocked the experts.
Ultimately, both Billy and Sierah chose to walk away from their marriage, despite her last-minute regret.
Meanwhile, Awhina and Billy have continued to spark chatter about the nature of their relationship.
The pair looked very friendly indeed as they headed out for a double date with co-stars Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels at a Perth bar last month.
Billly swung his arm over Awhina’s shoulder as they cuddled up on their stroll to the pub.
Awhina, who ‘married’ Adrian on the show, held onto Billy’s hand during the intimate moment.
They appeared very relaxed in each other’s company – again inspiring chatter as to whether they have undergone a ‘couple swap’.
While Awhina and Billy have previously insisted their relationship is strictly platonic, an insider has revealed that their respective partners were less than impressed when they were caught on camera sharing an intimate outing in Perth in February.
‘As soon as Adrian saw those photos, he was raging,’ a source close to the couple told Daily Mail Australia.
‘He sent Awhina a nasty text message and blamed her for ruining their TV relationship- just weeks after he was spotted with another girl. Not cool.’
When approached by Daily Mail Australia, Awhina clarified that she and Billy have built a friendship since filming wrapped but denied anything romantic was going on.
