Jessie Wallace stuns as she shows off long blonde hair in glamorous snap after ditching her usual jet black look

Jessie Wallace looked stunning as she showed off a new blonde look in a social media post on Saturday.

The actress, 52, took to Instagram to debut some long blonde locks in a transformation from the usual short jet black tresses she usually sports.

EastEnders star Jessie did not caption her post but her followers flooded the comments section with compliments.

One person wrote: 'Looks amazing, I've just watched a classic EastEnders and in one scene you asked Zoe if you would suit blonde hair the answer is definitely yes.'

While another person wrote: 'Ooh it’s a yes from me, looking like a young Madonna xx,' and another: 'Absolutely beautiful gorgeous perfect magnificent stunning.' 

It comes after Jessie confirmed her engagement to her carpenter partner Justin Gallwey with a sweet Instagram post earlier this year.

Announcing her happy news at the time, she shared a cosy snap with her partner and wrote: 'My fiancé and moi.'

The pair have been together for at least a year and their engagement had previously been reported before they confirmed the news.

Jessie downplayed rumours she was already married to Justin last summer after referring to him as her 'husband'.

She prompted inevitable speculation across social media with an Instagram post, in which she hinted at something more than a committed relationship.

Sharing a photo of herself wrapped in Justin's arms as they relaxed in a London pub, Jessie added the simple caption: 'My hubby.'

Jessie and Justin are said to have known each other since they were teenagers.

Justin hinted at his plans to propose last July, commenting on a photo of Jessie and her friend Jaime Winstone modelling matching costume jewellery on the set of a special flashback episode of EastEnders.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote: 'See I told you you would have a ring on that finger by the end of the year.'

It was previously reported Justin had been helping Jessie to battle her booze demons after she was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer.

He told The Sun on Sunday: 'I just want to protect her. Everything is happy and things are good.'

Justin, who is said to keep a Jessie doll from Toy Story in his van, told The Sun last year: 'Our relationship is fine. We are very close.' Speaking of the police incident, he added: 'I have made my apologies and so has Jessie.'
