Katie McGlynn matches her outfit to striking new hair colour as she hits the town after leaving Hollyoaks

Former Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn turned heads as she headed out on the town wearing a dazzling all yellow outfit.

The soap favourite was dressed from head-to-toe in a sunshine shade of yellow which coordinated perfectly with her new sunkissed blonde hair.

The glam actress hit the town after leaving the Channel Four soap Hollyoaks, and she looked stunning in her vibrant yellow dress and matching blazer and heels.

The 28-year-old star from Rochdale added a zesty-coloured clutch to complete the sparkling look as she dined out at Australasia in Manchester with her best friend Lee Bennett.

She had swapped her brunette locks for the role of Becky for fresh golden blonde tresses.

And Katie completed the stylish look with fluttery lashes and a classic nude lip shade.

Her manipulative conspiracy theorist character Becky Quentin arrived in Hollyoaks village last summer to cause drama for former best friend Diane Hutchinson by making a move on her husband Tony while she was away and claiming he had made a pass at her.

Becky then wheedled her way into the affections of troubled teen Ollie Morgan, claiming that Ollie's father Luke's frontotemporal dementia was curable.

She provided him with a 'medicine' for his dad, claiming it would make him better.

But when Ollie drank the medicine himself to demonstrate to his dad that it was safe, he suffered a severe reaction and ended up in hospital.

After seeing his girlfriend's true colours Ollie gave Becky her marching orders.

Becky also featured in a story highlighting a rise of sinophobia - anti-Chinese and anti-East Asian racism.

In the storyline Becky became aggressive after spotting Serena Chen-Williams with a parcel received from China and linked it to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Taking to Instagram to mark her exit she wrote: "Becky Quentin, over and out! @HollyoaksOfficial.

"It’s been an absolute pleasure playing Becky and getting my teeth into something so different and gritty!

As an actor, to be able to portray someone that has so much likeness to extremely current global issues from conspiracy theories to anti-vaxxers, coronavirus and sinophobia… I really hope the storyline has helped raise some important issues and helps people see how easy it is for someone to be sucked into this whole world of fake news and conspiracy!"

She added: "Thank you to the entire cast and crew for being so unbelievably amazing and welcoming me with open arms! I will miss you all, but other exciting opportunities beckon…"

Katie previously played the late Sinead Osbourne, who tragically passed away after battling cervical cancer, in Coronation Street from 2013 to 2019.
