The actress wore an extravagant hedgehog hood for the look, keeping her usual ‘messy bun’ look hidden from view.
Lorraine’s face paint was exquisite as it featured intricate detailing as she effortlessly transformed into the character.
She shared a side by side look of herself after she was finished as she attempted to scrub the make-up from her face as she joked that she looked like she had been on a ‘three day bender’.
Lorraine captioned the picture: “It was a long shoot what can I say! I look like I’ve been on a three day bender 
.”
She further added: “Twas great to channel my inner Hedgehog 
.”
Her fans were left in stitches at her new look as one fan directly told her: “You look really funny
.”
Another said: “Looking great 
Lorraine I miss your fun
merry Christmas 
xx.”
While a third added: “Best hedgehog on tele
.”
