Emmerdale's Charley Webb goes in for the chop as she emerges from salon with short hair

Former Emmerdale actress Charley Webb recently grabbed her social media followers' attention as she shared a video of herself dancing in the street, and now she's wowed with a different look. This week the former Emmerdale actress took to Instagram with a video showing her confidently strutting along as she lip-synced to the Whitney Houston pop classic I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

The mum-of-three, who is best known for playing Debbie Dingle in the ITV soap, showed off her best moves in a turtleneck jumper and belted shorts while flanked by her pals. She wore her long locks tied back in an elegant low bun as she performed to the 1987 number one hit.

"I can't," Charley wrote alongside the fun clip which she shared with her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram. "Unrehearsed heaven. if I could make a music video on the streets everyday, I would," she added.

Charley has since showcased a new look on her Instagram. After sharing an image of her snipped tresses on the floor, she showed fans her shorter locks.

The star, from Bury, videoed herself in the mirror as she played with her new shoulder-length cut which she wore pulled back. Charley's posts came after she made a return to screens on Monday night (February 13) in BBC One's new thriller, Better.

The new five-part series, set and shot in Leeds and West Yorkshire, explores the complex and powerful bonds of loyalty and family, set in a world where everyone has their own version of right and wrong. Taking to Instagram just as the first episode was about to air, Charley shared a selfie of herself to her Stories as she lay in bed with a cup of tea and wrote: "Will be watching myself with my eyes closed. Better BBC One @ 9."

Charley hasn't been seen on-screen since she left Emmerdale after 19 years. Her character Debbie has been spotted in the Dales the beginning of 2021 when she was involved in an affair with Al Chapman while he was engaged to Priya Sharma.

During an Instagram Q&A at the start of last year, Charley was asked if she had left Emmerdale. And it turns out she actually left longer ago than people first thought.

Alongside a photo of herself with husband Matthew Wolfenden and their three children she wrote: "This is always my most asked question but I’ve never answered it before because I’ve never wanted to make a big deal of it.

"I left to have Ace 2 years ago. I went back at the end of last year for 10 weeks to complete a storyline. So, I guess officially it’s been a year. I never felt the need to announce it which is why we didn't."
