Remember the early days ofThe Only Way Is Essex? The vajazzles, the catchphrases like “reem,” and a cast that quickly became household names? For many, the show’s golden era revolved around stars like Joey Essex, Lauren Goodger, and cousins Amy Childs and Harry Derbidge.
Years have passed since those initial episodes, and the cast has undeniably evolved. Recently, all eyes have been on Harry Derbidge, whose transformation has sparked a flurry of comments from fans online.
The 32-year-old, who returned to the show after a hiatus, has noticeably changed his physique, building a more muscular frame. This physical shift is coupled with a new look – a dark beard and a series of fresh hairstyles – that have captivated viewers.
Social media has been alight with reactions to Harry’s “glow-up.” One follower, @rachsnow1, simply commented, “Love the new hair,” while @emmalouise244 exclaimed, “What a glow up! Love this look! Stunner!”
Harry recently shared a video from the balcony of his new home, offering a stunning view of London’s skyline, including Canary Wharf and The Shard. The caption, “Just very happy,” hinted at a contentment that resonated with his followers.
One commenter, nicki0803, perfectly captured the sentiment, writing, “You deserve it all. Love seeing your ongoing glow up and happiness.” It’s clear the transformation extends beyond just appearances.
A playful video posted over a recent bank holiday weekend showcased Harry dancing with Amy Childs. Sporting jorts and a baggy t-shirt, his hair styled forward, he radiated a carefree energy. The video also featured Amy’s children, adding to the joyful scene.
The cousins were participating in a popular TikTok trend, dancing to the song “Shake It” by Metro Station. It’s a striking contrast to when the song was first released in 2008, when Harry and Amy were just teenagers.
The change is more than skin deep; it’s a visible representation of growth, happiness, and a new chapter unfolding for a star who first captured hearts on a groundbreaking reality show.
