Waterloo Road star Holly Matthews is unrecognisable after job U-turn and husband’s tragic death.
14 years after appearing on the BBC show the actress has become a life coach following the tragic death of her husband Ross.
The 37-year-old is best know for playing student Leigh-Ann Galloway in series two in 2007.
Leigh-Ann’s alter ego wasn’t classmates Mika Grainger biggest fan and wanted to get her own back after finding out her mum was growing close to Tom Clarkson.
The teen got her drunk and took a photo underneath her shirt when she was unconscious.
The troubled teenager sent it around the school and Leigh-Ann was excluded for her nasty behaviour.
