What Josh from My Parents Are Aliens looks like now

He's the spiky haired kid of CITV no more

We've all grown up since those carefree days of coming home from school and perching down on the sofa to watch the latest episode of CITV show My Parents Are Aliens - all of us, including the kids from the show.

Alex Kew - who you'll probably remember as Josh, the boy with spiky hair - looks especially different, however, as this picture taken from the 29-year-old's Twitter account shows.

Kew is now a gigging musician - If you've ever wanted to meet him, it seems The Bootlegger in High Wycombe is where such an occasion can occur.

He's also keen to let people know he still acts too.

My Parents Are Aliens ran from 1999 to 2006, airing 106 episodes in total. The CITV series originally starred Tony Gardner and Barbara Durkin as alien foster parents, Brian and Sophie Johnson. Carla Mendonça replaced Durkin from 2001.

The original child characters who end up under the aliens' care were played by Danielle McCormack (Mel Barker) and Charlotte Francis (Lucy Barker). While McCormack - now 32 - still acts and has a career as a singer-songwriter, Francis, 26, hasn't acted since she left the show in 2005.
