CORONATION Street star Harriet Bibby has revealed Summer Spellman’s new look as she showed off her new lighter blonde hair.
The actress took to TikTok to show herself getting her hair and make-up done ahead of filming for the ITV soap, which she joined last year.
Harriet, 23, who took over from Matilda Freeman to play youngster Summer in the soap, wowed fans with her lighter locks.
Taking part in a viral video trend, the star appeared fresh faced as she went without make-up and with her hair messy in a half-up half-down style.
Her formerly brunette locks looked to have been dyed and highlighted to be a lighter shade of blonde as part of her new look.
Harriet is seen transforming into Corrie’s Summer, swapping her casual t-shirt for a red jumper, and having her hair styled into curls.
Her look was completed with a soft palette of make-up, including mascara, blush and a pink-tinted lip gloss for her appearance on screen.
Fans immediately flooded the comments section to gush over Harriet’s new look – calling the star “gorgeous” and “beautiful”.
“You’re so gorgeous both ways,” one wrote, as a second chimed in: “Best actress going, she is the reason I watch Corrie!”
A third gushed: “Gorgeous as always! Absolutely love your smile,” as a fourth said: “So pretty! Such a beautiful actress.”
“Omg I noticed your hair looked different,” someone else added of the change in hair colour, as a second added: “Yes girl blonde suits you!”
Earlier this year, Coronation Street fans were left shocked as Harriet revealed her real age – which is SEVEN years older than her character.
The soap star revealed how old she was during a chat on Lorraine compared to Summer Spellman, who is 16 in the soap.
Lorraine replied: “You look younger, and that’s great! She’s what, 16? But I think because of the storylines she’s going through, you need to have that sort of maturity.”
Episodes aired earlier this year saw Summer being rushed to hospital after it was revealed that the 16-year-old has Type 1 diabetes.
After refusing to eat, becoming forgetful at school and going to the toilet more frequently, Summer decided to call the doctors.
However, vicar Billy Mayhew and boyfriend Todd Grimshaw thought that the reason behind her behaviour was because of an eating disorder and became increasingly worried about her.
It soon came to light that she has diabetes after she collapsed again as doctors did further tests on her.
Speaking out about her character, Harriet told Lorraine: “She’s actually quite a sensible girl and she’s quite mature with the way she’s been raised by Billy.
“She’s probably more sensible than I am! So I don’t find it too much of a stretch to play her.”
Harriet joined the cobbles in November 2020 after replacing actress Matilda Freeman, who played Summer from 2017.
The star has roles in Sky One’s Brassic and BBC medical drama Doctors and also worked as a singing teacher.
