    When The Fake Tan ATTACKED! – 11 Stars Whose Tanning Fails Left Them SERIOUSLY Orange

    Hey, we've all been there when our fake tan has come out a TAD darker than expected... and so have these stars, who have since embraced a more natural look!

    1. ELLE Style Awards Ellie Goulding fake tan

      1. She might have embraced the pale now, but back in the day Ellie Goulding was no stranger to the tan!

      We have to say, we much prefer Ellie with a non-nuclear skin tone - we love how she's embraced a softer look these days rather than this look she was rocking in 2011!

    2. Girls Aloud BRIT Awards 2005

      2. We're pretty sure Girls Aloud were keeping St Tropez in business at the height of their fame!

      Even Nicola Roberts, a natural redhead, was barely recognisable in 2005 with her mahogany skin and dark hair. She soon went back to her natural skin tone and hair colour and looked AMAZING, and the rest of the band followed suit by toning down the tan!

    3. Ariana Grande Fake Tan Fail

      3. Remember when Ariana Grande was a redhead and had tangerine skin? Well, you do now!

      We much prefer her natural look - and Ari's probably saving a FORTUNE on her fake tan bills too! Picture: Getty

    4. Christina Aguilera Fake Tan

      4. Orange hands aside, Christina Aguilera suffered the WORST tan fail when it started to run on her leg

      Is there anything more awkward than looking a little bit like you've wet yourself when really it's a stray bead of fake tan running down your leg? No, no there is not.

    5. Demi Lovato Fake Tan

      5. Recognise Demi Lovato? We barely did! The star used to be a BIG fake tan aficionado back in the day!

      She's now launched her own skincare range and regularly posts make-up free selfies - and her natural skin is way more gorgeous! Picture: Getty

    6. MOllie King and Frankie Sandford

      6. Frankie Bridge fully admitted that she was addicted to a faux glow - the colour of her legs!

      We're all for a healthy (fake) glow, but we have to say that Frankie looks much better now she's got a more subtle glow going on!

    7. Kim Kardashian Fake Tan Fail

      7. Kim Kardashian's got gorgeous olive skin anyway - so she doesn't need THIS much fake tan!

      We're crediting the Kanye effect for helping Kim to embrace her god-given glow - when you have olive skin anyway, you're blessed with a year round tan! Picture: Getty

    8. pixie haicuts, short hair, victoria beckham

      8. Before she went all high fashion on us, Victoria Beckham was a poster girl for a ridiculous glow!

      Back in 2009, VB was still embracing the Fake Bake - but she soon put down her tanning mitt and went for a more subtle look - and we reckon she looks 'Posh'-er than ever before!

    9. Paris Hilton 2009 fake tan

      9. She may be blonde, but Paris Hilton never let her natural skin tone get in the way of her ideal tan!

      In 2009, Paris Hilton was a BIG fan of the fake tan lotion - we can't get over how orange her legs were! Luckily, she's got a better tanner these days and isn't looking quite as permatanned as she once did!

    10. Tulisa  at the nation Television Awards

      10. Oh Tulisa! The bright pink feathers only made this tan look even more luminous!

      Back in 2012, you'd need sunglasses to look at Tulsa's tan - but she's looking far better now she's put down the (fake tan) bottle!

    11. Claudia Winkleman Fake Tan

      11. We're not even sure where you buy fake tan as dark as the one Claudia Winkleman gets tbh...

      She does love a tan, but this is extreme even for the fake tan devotee! Picture: Getty
