Pop Idol's Michelle McManus is unrecognisable after incredible hair transformation

Pop Idol star Michelle McManus looked completely different as she debuted a bolder hairstyle.

Scottish star Michelle found fame on Pop Idol, more than 17 years ago, when she was 23 years old.

The show was hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly and Michelle took the crown in the singing contest as she beat rival Mark Rhodes - of Sam and Mark fame - to glory.

The singer is best known for her light brown locks but changed her style to a gorgeous bright orange.

She took to Instagram to discuss her Christmas Extravaganza O Holy Night show this winter season.

Fans were amazed by her transformation and took to the comment section to compliment her good looks.

"Your hair!!!" one user posted along with a fire emoji and heart emoji while another added: "LOVE your hair like this!!"

Michelle thanked the user and said: "Thank you darling, definitely Mary Mac inspired," referring to the drag queen.

Earlier this year, Michelle gave birth to her second child, Nicholas Peter Nimmo.

She and her husband Jeff Nimmo share another son.

Sharing the news on Twitter in February, she penned: "Goodbye January although I don’t know how any other month this year could top you as you’re the month we welcomed the newest addition to our family."

Revealing the newborn's name, she continued: "Please say hello to Nicholas Peter Nimmo. Thank you for completing our family and our world. Love Mummy, Daddy & Harry."

Michelle treated her followers by uploading a photo of little Nicholas sleeping while dressed in a cute blue and white outfit.
