ITV Coronation Street star Mollie Gallagher unrecognisable without Nina's trademark make-up

Nina Lucas is best recognised in Coronation Street for her striking gothic style.

But Mollie Gallagher, who plays the street favourite, looked worlds away from her on-screen character as she ditched her heavy make-up over the weekend.

The actress, who picked up a soap award for her portrayal of Nina in the ITV soap last year, went makeup-free on her Instagram stories.

Mollie, who lives in ­Manchester, showed off her flawless skin and natural, light brows while she ditched her character's curls with her jet black locks, which have recently been dyed blonde around the front of her face to give a fresh frame, were seen in a straight style.

The 24-year-old was sharing with her thousands of followers how she struggles to concentrate when other people are speaking as well as forgetting what she was saying halfway through a sentence.

The soap star wrote over the series of clips: "This is me during many conversations," before she is heard saying: "I'm just going about my day and the next minute... I've literally just forgot what I was going to say."

The actress then explained how she covered for losing her train of thought, adding: "It mustn't have been anything important."

She then shared a video of her looking around while Billie Eilish's Happier Than Ever song played underneath with the lyrics "I don't relate to you," which is being used in a viral TikTok trend.

Mollie captioned it: "Me when ppl talk for ages forgetting what they're on about or getting their words mixed up."

After showing off her natural look, Mollie took to Instagram with a glam snap as she quickly snapped a lift selfie.

The Corrie star could be seen back with a slick of make-up with her blonde and black tresses in a half-up, half-down style.

She was rocking a pair of fishnet tights with a patent black heart-shaped bag draped over her body but the start of the show was her baby pink coat that had been adorned with feathers.

"Here to show the coat xxx," she captioned the post and her followers were quick to start responding.

@reikigardenwigan said: "That Coat -I LOVE it."

"Never looked better! Gorgeous girl," @henkelarsson1 commented.

@misspinkwhite wrote: "Omg, that coat, though!"

"You look absolutely amazing mollie," @jordanhaughin shared.
