What a difference ten years makes...

- BY RHIAN LUBIN and AMANDA EVANS V rhian.lubin@mirror.co.uk

The youngest member of the Jackson clan lost her megastar brother Michael in 2009 and she performed a tribute at the MTV Video Music Awards. The years seem to have barely touched the singer since as she writes on Instagram: “Challenge accepted.” A decade ago the footballer was married to Louise and clean shaven. Since then he has split from her and grown a beard. He has also improved his fashion sense. Referring to the lilac suit he wore in 2009, he says: “A little purple number... what was I thinking?” A hectic career and being a mum-of-three somehow have not aged Reese. In 2009 the actress had just starred in animated film Monsters vs. Aliens. She is now filming Legally Blonde 3 and says: “Time sure does fly when you are having fun.” She hits the half-century this summer and looks great, so J-LO was happy to share these snaps. A decade ago she was pregnant with twins Maximilian David and Emme Maribel. But at 49 shestill has a natural glow. She hasn’t exactly let nature take its course. But Katie looks pretty good 10 years on – and she has been through a fair bit too. The mum-of-five divorced Peter Andre in 2009 and has since divorced MMA fighter Alex Reid and split from third hub Keiran Hayler.

Kate Hudson cannot resist looking over her shoulder by sharing a snap from a decade ago. The actress, 39, is among stars joining in the 10-Year Challenge, which has taken social media by storm.

The craze caught on from Facebook, which will post your old photos – some of which you might be glad to see and others you might rather forget – on your profile.

Here, we take a look at the difference a decade can make in the world of showbiz… This promising teen left Manchester United for Juventus, only to come back for €100million in 2016, win a World Cup with France and fall out with manager Jose Mourinho. All before the heady age of 25. The Queen of Pop and mum of six has fought a battle against ageing and, going by these pics, it looks as though she’s winning. She hardly looks a day older than in 2009 – a year after divorcing director Guy Ritchie. Xpose’s Cassie Stokes shared a hilarious snap of herself and Glenda Gilson from a decade ago.

Back in 2009, Cassie was given the job of keeping Glenda dry.

Ten years on and the Virgin Media star now co-hosts the show with the model – now that’s a promotion. A lot has changed since Vicky gave up working in telesales to star in Geordie Shore and win I’m A Celeb – and not just the look. She writes: “I have nothing else to say, I’m just going to leave this here.”
