She captioned the post: “Don’t think I’ve ever been this blonde but kinda liking it! Slightly terrifying having it bleached by my 15 year old (both nearly stormed off half way through as it was so stressful).

“But yet again, she’s found something else that she’s better than me at!”

Sammy’s followers commented on her new hair.

Her Emmerdale co-star Charley Webb wrote: “The blondest Barbie I’ve ever seen.”

Former Coronation Street and Hollyoaks actress Lucy-Jo Hudson commented: “Bloody gorgeous.”

One follower wrote: “I love it!”

Sammy is best known for her role in the ITV soap playing Katie Sugden.

She first joined the show in 2001 but was killed off in 2015 when her brother-in-law Robert pushed her at Wylie’s farm. The fall caused her to fall through floorboards where she died.

Last year, Sammy revealed she turned down the opportunity to return to Emmerdale as a ghost.

She said: “About a year after I left Emmerdale, they asked me to return as a ghost.

“It was for a scene or two with Andy. I was working so I couldn’t fit it in.

“But I’d be open for a cheeky little ghost appearance now – if only Kelvin [Fletcher] was still in Emmerdale.”

After leaving the soap, Sammy has continued her acting career.

She recently starred in a film called Lead Belly alongside Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas and his daughter Polly.

Earlier this year, she played Amelia in One Good Night at Hope Mill Theatres.

She has also written a children’s book called Princess Phoebe Meets The Tudors.
