Rose Ayling-Ellis looks so different following incredible transformation - see photo
Rose Ayling-Ellis won the hearts of the nation following her stint on Strictly Come Dancing, and she's continued to make waves during her award-winning time on the show.
And during this time, Rose has been turning heads with her incredible outfits and some scene-stealing transformations, and her latest look might be one of her best. While Rose has suited her sandy-blonde locks for the past few years, on Tuesday the former EastEnders star revealed she'd ditched them in favour of a bright blonde look.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the 29-year-old actress showcased her new look while still at the salon, thanking her hairdresser, Ricky, for the makeover. The stylist ran his hands through Rose's hair, showing it off in its full glory, before chuckling after her comment.
Rose often relies on Ricky for her hair and last November, she shared a glimpse inside another session where she cut off her long locks to go for a shorter fringe.
The star shared a small clip from her time in the chair as she underwent the glam transformation, and even Ricky joked around drying his own hair and making Rose giggle.
