Fans of the iconic ITV soap Coronation Street are doing a double-take after a beloved star unveiled a dramatic new look that renders her almost unrecognisable from her cobbles character.
Vicky Entwistle, who famously portrayed the sharp-tongued and unforgettable Janice Battersby for over a decade, has undergone a stunning transformation since leaving the show. Gone is the perm and the no-nonsense factory wear; in its place is a sophisticated, chic style that has left followers stunned.
The actress, who first arrived on the Street in 1997, became a cornerstone of the Battersby family and a Weatherfield legend. She was at the heart of some of the show's most memorable storylines before her departure in 2011.
Sharing a glimpse into her life now, recent photos show a beaming Vicky with a sleek, modern hairstyle and elegant attire, a world away from Janice's iconic denim and leopard print. The radiant actress appears happier and more relaxed than ever, embracing a new chapter far from the Manchester rain.
The incredible side-by-side comparison has sparked a wave of nostalgia and admiration from fans on social media, with many expressing their awe at her glamorous new appearance. It's the ultimate proof of her acting chops – the ability to completely shed a character and reinvent herself.
