EastEnders star Jessie Wallace has been flooded with compliments after showing off a brand new look. Fans are used to seeing the actress on-screen in the BBC One soap playing Walford icon Kat Slater.
But Jessie looked worlds away from her leopard print-wearing alter ego as she beamed for a new selfie after taking a trip to the hairdressing salon. The 51-year-old showcased a new shorter hairstyle after chopping off some of her jet black locks.
Jessie could also be seen in the snap sporting a pair of glasses and a simple black t-shirt. Taking to Instagram, the soap star captioned the snap: "Rocking my new T-shirt from the coolest band @nimmonimmo and my new cut by the scissorhands magician @linocarbosiero."
Fellow EastEnders actor Bobby Brazier was among the first to comment, writing: "Rockstar." While Danielle Harold, who plays Lola Pearce in the BBC show, replied with a number of love heart eyes emojis before typing: "Loveeee." And fans were quick to follow suit and share their compliments.

The new look comes just a couple of weeks after Jessie confirmed that she is engaged to carpenter Justin Gallwey. She took to Instagram last month to share the exciting news following rumours she had said a big 'yes' to her beau. "My fiancé and moi," she wrote alongside an image of the two cosied up to each other.
Jessie, whose real name is Karen Jane Wallace. could be seen gently placing her hand on his chest as he looked towards the camera in a pair of sunglasses on what appeared to be a beach.
