This Morning: Charlie Brooks stuns viewers with dramatic new look: ‘I didn’t recognise her!

New year, new hair for Charlie!

Charlie Brooks stunned This Morning viewers with her new look as she appeared on today’s (January 23) show.

The EastEnders actress, who is best known for playing Janine Butcher on Albert Square, rocked her new brown hair with bangs.

Fans are normally used to seeing Charlie with blonde curly shoulder-length hair. Taking to Twitter, many of them expressed that they didn’t recognise her.

Charlie Brooks’ EastEnders Exit

Charlie has been an on-and-off cast member of EastEnders since 1999. However, her 18-month contract came to an end last year.

She told The Sun on Sunday: “I was only ever due back to EastEnders for a year, but when [exec producer] Chris Clenshaw presented me with his idea for the story, I couldn’t say no to staying a little longer.

“I’ve had an amazing time, as I always do when I go back. But as always with Janine, she probably should not outstay her welcome — for everyone’s sake.”
