Former The Only Way Is Essex star Jess Wright has left her fans gobsmacked as she showed off her stunning new look on social media.

Jess, who was an original cast member on the reality show, took to her Instagram account to show off her brand new blonde locks, looking VERY different to her usual brunette style.

Captioning the photo with, 'Find yourself and be that', Jess' fans were quick to compare her to American reality star Kim Kardashian.

Fans of the budding singer were quick to comment on the photo, admitting how much they think blonde suits Jess.

One user wrote, 'Wow, I didn’t recognise you! Looking good. 😍', with another adding, 'Omg u look amazing 😍'. [sic]

Another fan called asaramani wrote, 'Blonde suits you. 👌❤❤' [sic]

It's not yet clear whether Jess has dyed her hair bleach blonde, or whether she's just rocking a wig, but she certainly looks a lot different to her usual self!

Here is Jess pictured just last week with brunette hair:

After appearing on The Only Way Is Essex alongside her brother Mark Wright, her mum Carol Wright and Nanny Pat for five years, Jess made the decision to quit the show in February 2016.

Releasing a video on Instagram at the time, Jess told her fans, "I've had the best time and I wanna say thank you all so much for your support. [sic]

"You will be seeing me soon and I'm also gonna be keeping up with all the goss in Essex. Love you all lots."

During her five year stint on the show, Jess was involved in some major storylines, including her engagement to her fellow co-star Ricky Rayment.

Since leaving, Jess has been trying to focus on her music career.
