Alexandra isn’t the only soap star to play around with her hair colour whilst she’s off work.

Earlier today (Monday, May 4) Eileen Grimshaw actress Sue Cleaver showed off her pink hair on Lorraine.

Fans thought it made her look 10 years younger!

Fellow Coronation Street actress Tina O’Brien has also dyed her hair pink, and former Corrie star Lucy Fallon dyed her hair peach.

Usually soap actors are restricted over what they can do with their hair due to continuity issues.

But as a result of coronavirus lockdown, UK soaps have suspended filming, meaning actors can experiment as they like.

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm on ITV.
