Former Coronation Street star Matilda Freeman has wowed her fans with a dramatic hair makeover.
The actress – who played the character Summer Spellman on the cobbles until 2020 – usually sports long blonde curls.
But she has revealed to her fans on Instagram that she is now a redhead.
Matilda, 17, unveiled her new look with a snap showing her clad in a white top and a floaty skirt and facing away from the camera
Her hair was red, and cascaded over her shoulders and down her back in stunning curls.
“Officially a (fake) redhead,” she captioned the shot.

Fans were dazzled by Matilda’s stunning new do.
“Omgg it looks so pretty!!” one person wrote in the comments section, while another admirer said that they were “obsessed”.
“You look like a princess in the Game Of Thrones looking out across your homeland,” said someone else.
“I’M LITERALLY IN LOVE WITH YOU,” gushed another.

Many said the star really suited the colour.
“Oh my God you’re an angel,” said one person.
Another wrote: “You are absolutely beautiful Matilda and I absolutely love your hair, you suit the colour red so much.”
Matilda didn’t make it clear whether the red was just a new image or if she had changed her hair for something in particular.
“Nice colour, are you doing it for a new role you’ve got?” one of her followers asked.
The actress joined Corrie in 2017 but she left three years later, and Harriet Bibby took over the role of Summer.

Matilda later addressed her exit from the cobbles in an Instagram Q&A, telling fans that she had wanted to try other things.
She has since had parts in TV series such as The Power and Alma’s Not Normal.
The star opened up about her sexuality last year, telling fans on Instagram that she was bisexual.
Speaking about the reaction to her announcement, Matilda said: “Can I just say – thank you for all the love and support I’ve received after making my sexuality aware on my socials.
“I really wasn’t expecting it and it means the absolute world, you guys are amazing. I love you all.”
