Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver, who plays the role of iconic character Eileen Grimshaw, has used lockdown to experiment with her hair, dying it a shade of pink as she self-isolates at home.

Sue, who is due to celebrate her 20th year on Coronation Street this year, appeared on Good Morning Britain via video chat this morning (Monday 4th May), debuting her amazing new look.

After host Lorraine Kelly complimented her, Sue said, "It's the only time when I thought I can do what I want. Don't worry, I can wash it out."
