Loose Women star praised by fans as she debuts 'gorgeous' hair transformation

Fans have rushed to gush over Charlene White after the Loose Women star debuted a new hairstyle.

The former I'm A Celebrity contestant, 42, opted to get blonde highlights and showed off a bob, as she rocked a pair of sunglasses, orange jacket and dark trousers, while strutting her stuff in the London sunshine.

The journalist wrote in the caption: Sun’s out… so on a whim, I decided to go even blonder. Cos, why not?!

"Yay or nay folks??"

One fan wrote: "Yes looking gorgeous Charlene. Loving ur hair. Going more blonder really suits u. xx"

Another said: "Loooove that colour…really suits you."

A third said: "Looking golden."

Other fans simply said Charlene looked beautiful and stunning.

Last week, Charlene penned a poignant tribute to her Loose Women colleague, who is leaving the show after 15 years.

She took to Instagram to share a message for Loose Women's deputy editor Tom Sage, who departed the show last week after 15 years.

Tom was mentioned by his colleagues live on air as he plans to start a new job abroad, departing the ITV lunchtime show after a number of years in the senior role.

Charlene revealed Tom is heading to Australia to work on Neighbours as part of the production team, as she thanked him for being a "wonderful friend and boss-man" for the three years she's been on the show.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "Last week we bid farewell to our @loosewomen Deputy Editor @tomsage1984 … and today he flies off to Australia to join the production team at @neighbours!

"It was quite the learning curve when I first joined the Loose team 3 years ago. It was unlike any show I’d ever done, and I was nervous as anything.

"But the Loose team are something special, and Tom was there for me from the start - helping to calm nerves, giving me guidance, and just generally being a wonderful friend and boss-man."

Charlene also quipped she was eager for a return Down Under to appear on the soap reboot.

She added: "I’m lucky he was there to hold my hand through the amazing world that is daytime telly. I can’t tell you how much we’re going to miss him. Neighbours are so lucky to have him.

"In the meantime, I’m gonna keep WhatsApp’ing him storylines that feature a cute Black British newsreader character who’s slightly frazzled by the work/parenting life."

It came after Kaye Adams, Judi Love, Nadia Sawalha and Jane Moore paused Loose Women to thank Tom.

Speaking on the ITV show, Kaye said: "It's a little bit sad for us as our dear friend and deputy editor of the show Tom is going off to a wonderful new life Down Under. We're hoping he's going to be a boomerang and come back to us, we will miss him so so much. He is a wonderful colleague and an even more wonderful friend."
