Amanda Abbington stuns Strictly fans as she shows off new hair transformation after quitting show
EX-Strictly star Amanda Abbington has revealed her dramatic new hairdo.
The actress, 51, wowed friends and fans alike with her choppy, textured look.
Scrunching up her face for the close-up selfie, Amanda wrote: "Finally got a haircut…" followed by some emojis that indicated she was undecided if it was the right decision.
Her following quickly answered that by telling Amanda how much they loved it.
Fiancé Jonathan Goodwin commented: "I’m so lucky."
Fellow Strictly star Ellie Leach posted: "erm obsessed ????"

The new 'do follows fans spotting a Strictly format shake-up after Amanda's shock exit from the show.
There is currently one less couple on the show than usual at this stage of the competition.

As a result, the final is shaping up to be a three couple affair rather than the usual four, something which has been raised in a fan forum.
One viewer asked: "Are we having only 3 couples at finale?"
Another replied: "It looks that way yes."
It prompted a third to say: "I think it's such a shame and wish they wouldn't do it this way I don't see why they can't think of another way to do the Sunday show for the scheduling. Perhaps with some more behind the scenes insights."
However, others are keeping an open mind and believe bosses were left with little choice.
One asked: "I like to be open to new ideas on how things are done, but what ideas would you have for the show if you were a producer or whatever?"
Amanda missed week six due to medical reasons before announcing her departure two days later.
Early in her tenure on the show she had a fractious relationship with dance partner Giovanni Pernice, but they performed very well on the dance floor and it appeared as if they had sorted their differences.
However, the shock exit, just as they were emerging as dark horses for the glitterball, put the spotlight back on their relationship and neither has mentioned the other since.
