Gemma Atkinson unveils hair transformation inspired by musical as she returns to work

Gemma Atkinson showed off the skills she learned from her hunky beau on Strictly Come Dancing as she debuted her new blonde locks in a sassy dance video.

The Hits Radio presenter, 35, unveiled her bright blonde tresses and edgy new fringed style in a quirky clip which saw her dramatically strut her stuff to a classic track from musical Grease 2.

The Strictly finalist dazzled fans with her new hairdo which appeared to be channelled by 80's American sweetheart Michelle Pfeiffer.

The mum-of-one performed a routine to the star's iconic tune Cool Rider, which saw her flaunt her moves around the radio studio wearing dark sunglasses.

Gemma shared the clip of herself dancing with her 1.3 million followers on Thursday evening alongside an old snap of Michelle as Stephanie Zinone, the leader of Grease 2's Pink Ladies.

She captioned the quirky post by hinting at the backlash she sparked after turning up to this week's BRIT Awards with a fringe.

The blonde bombshell wrote: "Them: why have you had a fringe cut? Me: Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2 (I know, I know, I should have won Strictly)."

In the fun clip, Gemma is seen wearing her fresh new locks in a tousled ponytail and hides her face from the camera with a pair of dark oversized shades.

She is then seen enthusiastically lip syncing to the song and dancing around using a chair as a prop for her punky pop dance routine.

Gemma's post comes after she arrived at the BRITS sporting a new fringe.

Users rushed to the comment section to gush over her appearance, with one writing: "I love it! It really suits you! Love the song too!"

Another added: "Grease 2...soooo underrated!!!!... Looking fabulous."

Gemma's new hair snap comes after the 35-year-old raged about an ex-boyfriend she "should have slapped the crap out of" in a candid Instagram post.

In her caption, Gemma touched on a past relationship of hers where she says she had forgiven her ex but admitted she should've handled things differently.

The mum-of-one shared the quote: "Your wound is probably not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility."

In an accompanying caption, she penned: "We've all had unfair things happen to us. In our work, our relationships and our everyday life.

She continued: "Placing blame on the person responsible will long term only eat you up (As hard as it is I know, I was talking to my mate last night and we both agreed we've forgiven some Exes we should have just slapped the crap out of)."

She added: "Sometimes things happen out of nowhere that are completely out of our control.

"Heal yourself over time and move forward, you’ll feel even stronger once you’re out the other side."

Gemma really seems to have taken her own advice, as the blonde bombshell is now in a happy relationship with Strictly star Gorka Marquez , 28.

The loved-up couple are proud parents to seven-month-old Mia.
