Double denim dream! David Campbell shares a cringeworthy throwback photo from when he was auditioning for a boy band in 2003

Everyone has those fashion moments they would rather forget, and Today Extra host David Campbell is no exception.

The 46-year-old shared a cringeworthy throwback to Instagram on Friday that showed him posing in an unsightly double denim ensemble.

He explained in the caption that the photo was from when he auditioned for a boy band 17 years ago.

‘At an open audition for a boy band. I think this is around 2003. Double denim. Blonde ambition. What. Was. I. Thinking????’ he wrote. 

The picture showed a young David sitting on a rooftop, looking into the distance. 

He was wearing a black T-shirt and a pair of denim jeans with a matching jacket. 

David’s hair was very different to how he styles it these days, as he rocked a longer cut with a lighter shade .

It comes after David debuted a new rugged look on Today Extra last week.
