NICKY Byrne looked almost unrecognis­able with a “castaway” style beard taking over his face after weeks in lockdown.

However, the Westlife singer, 41, returned to his boyish looks after a tidy up at the weekend.

But not without marking the occasion with a series of progress pictures.

His first snaps showcased an unruly hairstyle, and grey facial hair – a far stretch from his usual clean-shaven style.

However, the Dancing With The Stars host decided to shave it off over the weekend returning to his tidy tresses.

Sharing a range of snaps from his Dublin home, the former 2fm presenter joked: “It had to go! #Castaway.”

A MATT Damon superfan said her day was made as she bumped into the Hollywood hero out for a stroll.

It was just a regular training session for Fiona Brennan last week, until she met the new Dublin local last Wednesday during a bike ride in Killiney, South Dublin.

Speaking to Irish Daily Mirror, the athlete, who is training for Ironman, told how the “chilled out” star made her day stopping for a socially distanced chat and picture whilst on a romantic walk with his wife Luciana Barroso.

Fiona said: “I told him I was training for an Ironman. And he said, Really? A full one?’ He told me his brother had done 11.

“And he himself took part in a relay triathlon in 2008.

“And I said I’m just a rookie and this would be my first.”

She added: “[I’m a] huge fan. I keep my eyes peeled for him now every evening when I’m out training.”
