ITV Coronation Street Gemma star looks worlds away from soap role as she debuts new look

Coronation Street's Dolly-Rose Campbell, known for her role as Gemma Winter-Brown, has left fans in awe after revealing her natural hairstyle away from the cobbles.

Dolly became a household name when she joined the ITV soap as the outspoken Rovers barmaid Gemma back in 2014, quickly becoming a fan favourite.

She's been at the centre of numerous major storylines, including giving birth to quadruplets and dealing with the recent death of her on-screen brother Paul, played by Peter Ash.

Despite her high-profile role, Dolly tends to keep her personal life under wraps and seldom posts updates on social media. However, she recently shared some striking new headshots that have got everyone talking.

On her Instagram, she posted several photos of her new headshots, looking markedly different from her Corrie character, sporting much shorter, curly hair, reports the Daily Star.

Dolly captioned the post: "Headshots @joeolismith." Fans and co-stars alike were quick to compliment her in the comments section.

One fan commented: "Gemma needs to go for a haircut and come back as the real you! suits you so well!" Another added: "Love love love your natural hair you look beautiful."

Sue Devaney, who plays Debbie Webster, also chimed in, saying: "Gorgeous Dolly! Love them!".

However, not all comments were positive, with some followers leaving "rude" and "unnecessary" remarks, one of which read: "Oh no Dolly this is aging you."

Dolly's supporters quickly hit back though, with one follower stating: "Some people have no filter and are so rude! If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all." Another person wrote: "I know right! Some of the comments are just so unnecessary!".

A third fan also commented: "You are so pretty @dolly_rose_campbell l'm a massive fan of the natural look. The comments on here from people saying it makes you look older are appalling!"

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
