Former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress Gemma Atkinson has unveiled a brand new hair colour, ditching her darker roots and blonde highlights for an all-over bleach.
Gemma, 37, revealed that her inspiration for the stunning new ‘do was 90s sex symbol Pamela Anderson.
Baywatch actress Pam became a global pin-up, known for her peroxide blonde hair and voluminous layers.
Mum-of-one Gemma paid a visit to her hairdresser Emily Monk in Wilsmlow. The celebrity stylist also takes care of Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague’s tresses.
Gemma told her loyal 1.7million Instagram followers that she’d been debating what to do with her locks.
She wrote on her story: “Sat in @emilyrosemonkhair chair discussing new hair style and colour.
“Showed her some pics of people’s hair and she’s said ‘that’s a wig’, ‘that’s extensions’, ‘that’s a filter not her actual hair colour’.”
She added: “I was fooled by the ‘gram!
“Told her to just do what she thinks best for my hair!”
Gemma was thrilled by the results, and posted a beaming photo of herself, wearing denim dungarees and shades.
The Hits Radio drive time host captioned the post: “Back to blonde! ‘Pammy blonde’
“Thanks so much @emilyrosemonkhair always keeping my barnet fresh.”
Gemma’s partner, Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez, 31, was first in the comments, writing: “My gorgeous woman.”
Other famous friends were also wowed by Gemma’s transformation.
Gorka’s fellow Strictly pro Diane Buswell wrote: “Looks beautiful,” and their colleague Karen Hauer added: “Sensational.”
Gemma’s former Emmerdale co-star Michelle Hardwick, who plays vet Vanessa Woodfield, added: “Love it Gem.”
Spanish dancer Gorka and former soap actress Gemma met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017.
Gemma, who was a finalist in the series, was partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec, while Gorka was paired with singer Alexandra Burke.
Following the end of the hit dance contest, the pair were once again together on the show’s live arena tour where Gemma said they became close, after which they confirmed their relationship.
