The first picture in the montage was one from when Mo was a youngster.
Mo looked adorable as he smiled into the camera with a retro bomber jacket on and a white hoodie.
He then picked videos from where his career began posting funny content on Instagram, to now, having written his own autobiography.
The comedian played DJ Chose’s Minor Setback (Motivation) in the background.
Mo captioned the post: “This has been the greatest year of my life.
“What’s next to come I don’t know? (I do know) but the next 24months is going to be an absolute movie thank you for rocking with me guys 🙌🏾.”
While many fans rushed to the comments to point out how sweet he looked as a kid.
One wrote: “You were the cutest kid ever?!”
Others praised Mo for his achievements.
A second added: “Big respect.”
A third added: “You have done really well and you are a positive role model.”
Mo has come a long way since he shot to fame in 2017 when rapper Drake shared his jokes on social media.
He went on to co-hosts The Big Narstie Show a year later, and starred in The Big Fat Quiz of the Year with Claudia Winkleman in 2018.
The star then went on to land his own Channel 4 show The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan in 2019.
Last year he joined the celebrity cast of Gogglebox and was also made a judge on The Masked Singer.
Earlier this week the TV star revealed he’s moved in with his Hollyoaks girlfriend after splashing out on five bed London home.

Mo confirmed he was dating former Hollyoaks actress Sophie Wise – who played Carly in the Channel 4 soap in 2015 – in 2018, and now the couple live together in his new home.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Mo said of his new digs: “I looked at Surrey, a lot of people in TV move out there, but I work a lot in London so I bought in North London. I bought a five- bedroom semi-detached house.
“I’m the first person in my family to buy a property so it’s a big deal. A lot of my family and friends will be coming over.”
Mo started his house hunt in January last year, and tried Forest Hill but he kept getting recognised.
He said: “[It was] nice but not when you’re looking for a house and want a level of privacy.
“Then I looked in Twickenham and Richmond Park but I didn’t see myself living there.
“I’m fortunate to do TV and comedy but I wanted a bit of privacy as well so I didn’t want to live somewhere where kids would be knocking on my door saying, ‘Tell us who’s on The Masked Singer.’”
Mo plans to do a little renovating and decorating, adding: “Hopefully one day my kids will grow up in this house. Me and my girlfriend won’t be moving for a little while.”
However, when it comes to decor, it sounds like it will be Sophie’s choice as Mo said: “A lot of it will be my girlfriend’s choice. She’s been on Pinterest for years.
“I once bought a rug, she saw it, said it was horrible, and it’s been rolled up ever since.I got it from Ikea.
“It was like an old Persian rug but had ‘Keep Off’ written on the pattern. I thought it was cool, but she hated it.”
