Emmerdale teen Jacob Gallagher surprises fans with major hair transformation

Emmerdale viewers were left stunned as they tuned in this week, to find one character looking pretty different.

Teenager Jacob Gallagher, played by actor Joe-Warren Plant, celebrated his baby brother Theo's christening on Monday evening.

He also featured in Tuesday's episode of the ITV soap, having not been on-screen for a short while.

But viewers of the show immediately noticed something different about the character.

For the past year or so he has been growing his hair out, initially sporting a long curly hairdo.

He soon changed it up a little, and donned a man bun for months on the show.

But now the character, and the actor, has had another image overhaul and has chopped off his locks.

Instead, the character has a much shorter and sleek look, as debuted on the soap this week.

The actor actually showed it off on Instagram earlier this year, with many just as surprised then.

But for those who didn't see the new transformation until Monday, they couldn't believe their eyes.

Taking to Twitter, many were loving the new look as some joked his hair was a bit high.

Another tweeted: " #emmerdale glad to see Jacob with a proper haircut."

A third added: "I love his hair! In my opinion it’s always been absolutely stunning!"

Emmerdale airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7pm on ITV.
