Caroline Flack will be wishing Throwback Thursday had never been invented.
The former X Factor and Love Island host was left red-faced by comedian Leigh Francis (the man behind Keith Lemon) who shared a vintage snap of the two of them together.
The pic shows them and a friend modelling some very questionable early noughties fashion on a night out.
Leigh posted the picture on Twitter in 2015, adding: “How many years ago is this????”
Caroline showed her shock, replying: “Oh my god.”

The pair go back a long way, as Caroline played Bubbles on Leigh’s Channel 4 comedy series Bo Selecta, who was a friend of the Michael Jackson character.
The Love Island host recently stood down from the hit ITV2 show after being arrested for assault.
She’s not the only former X Factor star to suffer at the hands of #TBT.
Cheryl shared an embarrassing snap of Nick Grimshaw back in his student radio days, when Girls Aloud popped by his show for a chat.

It shows the Radio 1 DJ looking far from the skinny-jeaned hipster we know and love today, with his rosy cheeks, dodgy specs and camouflage jacket.
