Cheryl may be known for her glamorous looks but the pop star looks extremely different as she went barefaced for theatre rehearsals ahead of her West End debut performance.
The 39-year-old is swapping the pop star stage for the theatre as she takes on the role of Jenny in the West End show, 2:22 A Ghost Story.
Cheryl will be stepping into the role which has previously been held by the likes of Laura Whitmore and Lily Allen.
Now, the production has shared snaps of the former Girls Aloud star in rehearsals looking worlds away from her usual self as she took a break.

Meanwhile, her last major TV role came in 2019, The Greatest Dancer was axed by the BBC just one year later in April.
Speaking to new! magazine, a source said: "Cheryl wants to reinvent herself in 2023, she was on TV all of the time, she was the sweetheart of the nation. But she stepped back for a while to focus on being a mother.
"She's excited to be coming back, some things haven't worked out in the past that she's tried, but this is a very exciting time for her."
The source went on to claim that Cheryl has been eager to "get back on the scene" for some time ahead of her latest job.
An insider claimed that she is set to earn around £1,000 for each show, meaning she will take home around £100,000 for her four-month stint.
