New fringe for Fringe?
Michelle Collins, renowned for her role as Cindy Beale in EastEnders, has been inundated with comments complimenting her stylish look and fresh hairstyle, which she showcased on her recent appearance on The One Show.
The glamorous 63-year-old actress appeared on the BBC show hosted by Roman Kemp and Alex Jones on Monday evening (June 23).
Fans raced to Instagram to share their flattery towards the star who wore a striking all black ensemble paired with gold accessories but it was her new fringe that really stole the show.
The iconic actress shared some pictures via Instagram, where she sent fans into a frenzy, commenting and expressing their love for her new hairstyle.
‘Love your style ❤️, where is your outfit from, please?’
‘Ageing backwards!! You look 12!!’
‘We LOVE the new fringe!!! 😍😍😍’
‘Love your Hair, it is fabulous ❤️’
During her chat on The One Show, Michelle revealed she’ll be stepping away from EastEnders temporarily to take on a bold new project: a one-woman show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Titled ‘Motorhome Marilyn’, the dark comedy will see Collins take centre stage in a performance that promises to showcase her versatility beyond the walls of Albert Square.
She confirmed BBC bosses have given her a month off the Square for the Edinburgh festival, though it remains unclear how EastEnders writers plan to explain Cindy’s sudden absence from Walford.
Cindy’s explosive return to the Square came as part of the show’s 40th anniversary after a 25-year hiatus. Michelle’s character was presumed dead all those years, but in classic EastEnders fashion, she made an iconic reappearance.
As for what fans can expect when she returns to the soap, Michelle remained tight-lipped, though if her Fringe performance is anything like her recent style transformation, it’s sure to make an impression!
