Gareth Gates looks totally different as he unveils ripped physique in Ibiza
Gareth Gates looked impressively buff in Ibiza on Sunday, showing off his sculpted abs during a VIP appearance at the Jacaranda Lounge.
The 39-year-old, who rose to fame as the Pop Idol 2002 runner-up, grinned for the cameras ahead of his exciting performance at the luxurious beach club last night.
In clips shared by guests on Instagram, Gareth can be seen singing passionately into a microphone and dancing at the side of a swimming pool. To endure the balmy Spanish heat, he stripped down to a simple pair of deck shorts as she worked up a sweat entertaining his fans. The English musician also appears to have been hitting the gym hard lately, displaying a toned torso and sculpted arms as he swayed from side to side to the beat.
He later took to Instagram to announce his departure, posting a photo of a British Airways plane with the caption, "Until next time Ibiza."
Gareth's trip to the sunny island comes just a few months after the West Yorkshire native broke up with his girlfriend of two years, DJ Chloe McLennan. He would go on to unfollow the 36-year-old on social media and has since been romantically linked to West End star Allana Taylor, who is currently performing in Grease.

Allana has also confirmed the relationship, taking to social media last week to share a photo of the loved-up couple together in black-tie. "Found my one," the musical theatre star captioned the sweet post.
Gareth was previously engaged to Coronation Street star Faye Brooks, whom he met when they were both starring in Legally Blonde: The Musical. The pair dated from 2013 until 2018, when it was confirmed that they had split, before rekindling their relationship in 2019 and sharing their plans to marry in July of that year. The romance ended for good, however, a month later, with Faye moving out of the flat they shared.
Gareth spoke about the importance of accepting change in a recent Instagram video, telling his 99k followers to 'embrace' the reality that things don't always stay the same in life. The former ITV reality show contestant also revealed that he is 'absolutely not' the same person he once was, recalling how, as a young boy, he was so shy he "would cower away from everybody."
"So often, we're scared of changing, because we're scared of what people will think," he said, before encouraging his viewers to "change that mindset."
Gareth's next concert will take place at the Southbank Centre in London on July 26.
