Unless you've been living under a rock (or somewhere with really crappy Wi-Fi) you can't have missed everyone sharing their #tenyearchallenge all over social media. The premise? Scroll back an entire decade on Facebook - through the dodgy fringes and questionable eyeliner - and post possibly the worst photo of yourself from 2009 alongside a relatively-decent present day pic.

So, now we've seen all our mates' glow ups, we thought we'd look back through someof our fave celeb throwbacks. We're talking a time when Justin Bieber's fringe had patent pending, Holly Willoughby served some surprisingly-emo vibes and Cheryl was on her second surname.
