Appearing on This Morning to chat with Phillip Schofield about his new album and the anniversary of his X Factor win, Shane even treated viewers to a song.
Usually Shane dons a shaved head – and has done since his career began, even throughout his Coronation Street stint.
So it would have come to a shock to fans who don't follow him on social media, that Shane now sports a full head of dark brown hair.
"Bloody Hell didn’t recognise Shane Ward," penned one fan.
"Ooh I say, Shane Ward still just as gorgeous as ever," added a second.
"Wow Shane Ward, still got it," said a third.
But a fourth thought he looked no different, writing: "Have to say turning on the TV to watch Shane Ward singing my goal was confusing af [as f*ck]. Did I time travel? He looks and sounds like no time has passed!"
While other viewers were in disbelief over how long ago it was since Shane shot to fame.
One person said: "7 years since Shane Ward won X-factor! Jesus Christ I am OLD!!!!"
While another added: "17 years since Shane Ward won X Factor ??? Refuse to believe I’m that old."
This comes as Shane dips his toe back into the world of music – following his Corrie stint as Aidan Connor – with his album Shane Ward now available on vinyl for the first time.
This Morning airs weekdays at 9am on ITV1 and ITVX.
