Michelle McManus wins the internet as she shares ten-year throwback snap of performing in pantomime with David Hasselhoff

by

The ‘#10YearChallenge’ is a popular new trend on social media where people share old photos from 2016 alongside recent pictures of themselves.

Scottish singer Michelle McManus recently shared a fun memory: ten years ago, she shared the stage with David Hasselhoff.

They both appeared in a production of Peter Pan as part of a pantomime in Glasgow. The show was performed at the Clyde Auditorium from December 12, 2015, to January 3, 2016.

David Hasselhoff, famous from Baywatch, starred as Captain Hook, and Michelle played the role of Mimi the Mermaid. The Scottish comedy duo, The Krankies, also appeared in the show.

Michelle shared photos on Instagram Wednesday showing her and David. She was wearing a vibrant blue mermaid-style dress and a bright red wig.

David Hasselhoff, known as ‘The Hoff,’ wore a very elaborate outfit to fully get into character. It included a detailed, laced coat, a waistcoat, a ruffled shirt, and a large accessory attached to his hand.

Michelle showed off her amazing 9-stone weight loss while wearing a chic navy coat at the premiere of ‘The Fifth Step’ in Edinburgh last November.

Gareth Gates, the singer who rose to fame on Pop Idol, went to a showing of a new play by David Ireland. The play, about two men attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, features Jack Lowden and Martin Freeman, known for his role in ‘Slow Horses’.

After a successful run in London’s West End, the play The Fifth Step has been filmed for National Theatre Live and will be shown in cinemas starting in late November.

Michelle has previously spoke about her battle with weight and journey to sobriety.

She shared last year that her physical transformation went hand-in-hand with a change in how she thought about herself, learning to prioritize self-love and recognize her own value.

As a lifestyle expert, I often get asked about my own transformation, and last year I shared some of my journey on Instagram. I lost a significant 9 stone in just 17 weeks, and I wanted to pass on what I learned to my followers – little tips and tricks that really helped me stay on track.

I’ve received a lot of kind messages lately asking about my weight loss journey. Many people have been curious about how I lost nine stone over the last seventeen months.

I used to chase after quick fixes, convinced some perfect diet was the key to finally becoming the person I wanted to be. I was caught in a frustrating loop, always searching for that one magical solution that just never seemed to exist.

I used to fantasize about discovering some magical solution – a quick fix that would instantly transform me into the person I believed I needed to be to finally feel happy.

Let’s be real: there’s no quick fix or magic solution. What I’ve learned is that having the right support system is even more effective.

‘I was at a point where I felt completely lost and out of control, unsure of where to turn next.’

Michelle has been showing her fans what her workouts look like, as she’s been going to the gym often.

Michelle shared the stage with Robbie Williams in June, performing for an audience of 70,000 people at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.

The Scottish singer performed “Relight My Fire” with the Take That member, 44, after he unexpectedly invited her to join him on stage.

Michelle thanked Robbie for his ‘unconditional kindness’ and gave an insight into her night. 

In the video, she’s shown preparing behind the scenes before appearing on stage with Robbie, wearing a vibrant red lace dress.

Michelle said she’s still trying to process what happened Saturday night at Murrayfield Stadium, adding it’s taken her almost a full day to understand it.
