Daniel Bedingfield, who is the elder brother of Natasha Bedingfield, has been shocking fans with his 'fit new look'

He's best known for his 2001 smash hit, Gotta Get Thru this, but singer Daniel Bedingfield has retreated from the limelight since soaring to huge fame.

Following his global success, the singer, 44, made the decision to shun the showbiz lifestyle, but could still be mistaken for an A-lister thanks to his dashing new look.

Daniel, who is the elder brother of Natasha Bedingfield, previously showed off a transformation on Instagram back in May 2022, with a smouldering selfie. In the black and white snap, he can be seen staring broodingly into the camera showing off his salt and pepper beard and a hint of chest hair.

He wears a printed hooded top and a necklace, looking worlds away from his former pop crooner self.

Daniel captioned the post: "Loving the strength returning to my heart finally, after all that Trump, covid, stuck in America b******t. I'm free!"

Fans flocked to comment on Daniel's new look, with one writing: "Looking mighty fine".

Another wrote: "You're a gorgeous man beast Daniel B", while someone else commented: "Wow look at you ! Stunning so good to see you x."

His sister Natasha also commented, writing: "Wow!!! U are stunning."

More recently, Daniel posted another snap, captioning it: "Family before gig photo." In the image he is wearing a Manga-style Tshirt, teamed with bright trousers and white trainers. Again, fans gushed over him in the comments, calling him "fit" and "handsome". "What a handsome trio," said one person, with another commenting: "Still as handsome." A third added: "You're so damn cute," while a fourth said: "Look at the fittie in the middle - we need new music Dan been waaaaaaay to long."
