Former Emmerdale star Charley Webb has revealed a brand new look after ditching her signature long locks for a shorter, edgier style.
Charley, who is best known for her role as Debbie Dingle in the ITV soap, returned to our screens for the first time since leaving the Dales this week, as she made her debut as Elise in BBC's new crime drama, Better. And it seems it's new beginnings all round this week for the former soap star, who has now transformed her look.
Charley teased the trim on Instagram after she posted a snap of her long locks on the hairdressers floor. She later revealed the transformation as she videoed herself playing with her shorter locks in the mirror. She captioned the post: "I've got actual clothes on and my hairs brushed, I don't know me."

However, it seems the star is still getting used to her new look as this morning she posted a selfie alongside the caption: "Not sure if this is a bit too bouncy for me. Like, I want a beachy not done look. This looks like a full blow dry right now."
Charley has spent much of the last few years at home raising her three children but now she is returning to our screens in a whole new light. And while it's a brand new role for Charley, she won't feel too out of place as the drama is based and filmed in and around Leeds.
Taking to Instagram just as the first episode was about to air on Monday, February, 13, 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."
It comes two years after Charley's character Debbie last appeared on Emmerdale back in February 2021, after the actress returned from maternity leave just a few months earlier. The former foap star officially confirmed her departure on Instagram in January 2022, telling her followers: "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."
Charley was snapped later that year filming for a new project for ITV alongside Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly. The 34-year-old was seen wearing a police uniform while filming scenes on-location for an upcoming drama about the Yorkshire Ripper.
The new show 'The Long Shadow', which will air later this year will delve into one of the most notorious and shocking serial killer cases in the world, the hunt for Peter Sutcliffe, dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper, between October 1975 and January 1981.
