Coronation Street’s head of hair and makeup, Gillian Walsh has shared a video of several of the ITV programme’s stars testing out an Instagram ginger hair filter
A number of attractive Coronation Street ladies tweeted photos of their ginger “makeover,” looking nearly unrecognizable.
Actresses Lucy Fallon, Tina O’Brien, and Samia Longchambon received new hair and makeup looks courtesy of Gillian Walsh, the head of hair and makeup for the ITV serial opera. She posted a video of fourth star Charlotte Jordan experimenting with a hair color-changing effect on her Instagram feed.
The actress Charlotte, who plays Daisy Midgley in the show, shared her makeover on Instagram and asked her followers, “Um… should I be ginger? ” Have I been living my life incorrectly?
Tina and Lucy, who play recently reunited as mum and daughter duo Sarah Barlow and Bethany Platt, then made cameo appearances in the video which they also shared to their own stories.
Samia, meanwhile, who has played Maria Windass since 2000, soon joined in the fun as she applied the filter too as she penned on her account: “Felt left out of National Ginger Day @gillywalshy.”
Laughing, she continued: “Now I need to be ginger and get some freckles and big lips. These filters are cruel!” Elsewhere on the video, Channique Sterling-Brown (Dee-Dee Bailey), Paddy Bever (Max Turner), Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby) and Jodie Prenger (Glenda Shuttleworth) were all involved too as Gillian panned her camera around the Weatherfield make-up room.
Writing in response, a number of Gillian’s followers approved of the new looks, with one commenting: “More gingers on the show pls!” Another penned: “Oooh you should all dye your hair.” And a third simply said: “Stunners.”
The fun comes as a welcome relief for Tina, who was seen rushing out of her property in pink jogging bottoms as violence flared outside her property last month. She was also filmed appearing to put a girl in a headlock as well as being hit herself and having her hair pulled.
However, it has been stated that the 40-year-old actress has been “cleared” after the “unprovoked attack”. According to The Sun, police are reportedly wrapping up their investigation into the brawl in Bramhall and have not made any arrests. The magazine was informed by a source that Tina had acted in self-defense and had done nothing wrong by the police. Her explanation has always been that she was protecting her family and her house, and it seems that people have accepted that.
Tina is not the kind to fight on the street most of the time because she is small and not an aggressive person. She just became interested because these females came to her house and along her street. Though it didn’t seem good, she believes they were searching for problems, therefore she thinks she made the correct decision.”
