Soap stars colouring their hair
Last week, Coronation Street and Emmerdale boss John Whiston admitted soap stars changing up their hairstyles in lockdown has caused a real headache now they’re returning to work.
When the soaps shut down filming due to the coronavirus pandemic, many of their stars took the opportunity to change their hair.
Usually when filming they have to keep things the same for continuity.
Speaking on Lorraine, John admitted: Most of the cast for some reason decided to shave their heads and all the female cast decided to dye their hair puce, which is a problem when everyone’s coming back to work.”
Referring particularly to Danny Miller having shaved his head, John added: “So we’ve had to put quite a lot of lines taking the [bleep] out of his hair.”
