What Celebs Have Joined the Instagram Throwback Photo Challenge? Can You Guess Them?
On social media, celebrities such as Zara McDermott and EastEnders’ Danielle Harold have participated in the latest challenge by posting old pictures of themselves as infants or babies. The task is for followers to include baby pictures of themselves, thus giving fans a glimpse into their favorite stars’ formative years.
From dancers on Strictly Come Dancing and soap opera actors to Love Island contestants, many famous personalities have visited Instagram to partake in this viral trend. As one star commented “crikey” over his childhood photo, he reacted to it. Who are these three celebs?
Zara McDermott
First up is Love Island-turned-documentary-maker Zara McDermott. She lives with her boyfriend Sam Thompson, who resides in West London at age 2. They have two cats they greatly treasure. Informants suggest they may be getting engaged soon, which, according to Sam, may be their next significant milestone.
According to OK!, “Insiders say Sam is very close to proposing to Zara and think he will do it by summer as they talk about getting married all the time and what their wedding would be like.” After she messaged him via Insta in 2019, the couple started dating but hit a rough patch after just one year when she admitted cheating on him, leading them to break up momentarily.
Following a public apology from former Made In Chelsea starlet Zara and some problematic discussions between the two lovers aired on the reality show Made In Chelsea, things seem back on track for good this time.
Catherine Tyldesley
Catherine Tyldesley recently participated in The Good Ship Murder alongside Shayne Ward, whose Instagram page gave 640k fans an insight into her early life, interspersed with sun-soaked holiday content. She is on holiday in Malta after Bonnie and Clyde The Musical, her new show, was postponed.
Catherine was expected to appear in the musical’s UK and Ireland tour until October this year, which included a five-day run at Southend’s Cliffs Pavilion. However, “with immediate effect,” the tour has been cut short, leaving fans disheartened.
Karen Hauer
Strictly Come Dancing’s Karen Hauer also shared a snap of herself as a youngster on social media. Last year, the 42-year-old made news headlines when she divorced her spouse and fitness trainer Jordan Wyn-Jones in the previous season of Strictly.
Earlier this year, Karen confirmed she was with ex-rugby player Simon Davidson, aged 38. They were first seen together in December 2021, and Simon even posted a picture of himself with Karen for his birthday, captioning it: “Things can change in an instant. Try to live in the moment; you never know what may happen #love #2024 #live #38.”
The throwback photos offer a heartwarming look at the early years of these well-known personalities, reminding us that even the most glamorous celebrities were once adorable babies and children.
