CORONATION Street actress Mollie Gallagher looked worlds away from her on-screen character as she debut a new hairstyle on Instagram.
The soap star, who plays Nina Luca, took to her social media to showcase her two-toned hair in two new photos.
The 23-year-old first showed off her peroxide blonde and raven-coloured hair on Sunday as she posed for a selfie while clad in a black and white wool jumper.
She then shared another snap of her hair up in a high ponytail and wrapped up in a white padded jacket.
Her new ‘do didn’t go unnoticed by fans who commented in their droves under the snaps about how good it looked.
One penned: “New hair for Nina as well then? I love it btw! 
”.
“Your hair looks gorg like that! 
” another shared. “Stunning love your hair ”.
A fourth wrote: “Love your new hair beautiful as always 
”
“Love your hair it really suits you, Xx,” a Corrie fan posted. “Wow love your hair 
”.
Last month, the TV star revealed she struggled to switch off from her character Nina’s emotional murder scenes.
Nina’s boyfriend Seb Franklin was kicked to death by Corey Brent and his gang of thugs in a harrowing hate crime attack reminiscent of the real world attack on Sophie Lancaster in 2007.
But speaking out about how her role has taken a huge emotional toll, and how she’s struggled to switch off from all of Nina’s trauma at the end of the day, the soap star revealed: “Obviously when the Nina and Seb storyline started we were all still in lockdown so nothing was open.
“You couldn’t go to the pub and see your friends. Luckily I live with my boyfriend so we would do little things together after work and at the weekend,” she continued to HOAR’s TV Mag.
“But because I wasn’t really doing anything apart from work I was literally being Nina more than I was being Mollie.”
Talking about which scenes she found the toughest, she went on: “The ones I found hardest in general were the ones where I had never had to be that emotional before.
“Some of those were in the hospital when Nina got out of the bed. It was after Seb had died and Abi has a go at her for not being able to remember what happened.
“So I was thinking about Nina being in all this physical pain and trying to keep very still. Probably for me that was the trickiest, learning how to reach those different emotional points.”
Talking about how emotionally draining it’s been to play Nina, she explained: “It’s hard because I am quite an emotional person in general. I feel things quite deeply. This story is so tragic so obviously you find that hard.
“I want to get it right, to tell this story but it’s not about me. I’ve just tried to put as much effort in and work as hard as I could really. Hopefully it’s paid off.”
In September, Mollie broke down in tears as she picked up an NTA for her portrayal of Nina – a goth who is viciously attacked for her choice of clothing, resulting in the death of her boyfriend Seb.
During her acceptance speech, the star paid tribute to Sophie Lancaster – whose tragic true story and death inspired the storyline.
