Katie McGlynn looks stunning with 'freaky' new look on birthday break with friends

Katie McGlynn recently transformed from blonde to brunette and she's wowed fans with her latest look.

The former Coronation Street star looked fabulous as she enjoyed some fancy dress fun on a birthday getaway with friends, dressing up as a fortune teller in a tasselled skirt, off-the-shoulder top and bandana.

And for added effect she added a spooky contact lens as she posed with her pals including best friend Lee Bennett, who adopted a devilish look with protruding horns.

"#woodlandcreatures #weekendaway #geeklife," Katie captioned a series of snaps shared on her Instagram.

The getaway was to celebrate Lee's 28th birthday and he celebrated with two themes - a creatures day and a hippy day.

"Walk me through that outfit! I need to know," said one fan to Katie with a love heart emoji.

"You look amazing," said another.

"Stunning," commented another with a flame emoji.

"Love the eyes, brilliant," said another fan.

"That eye is so freaky!" exclaimed another follower.

Katie, who played the late Sinead Osbourne in Corrie, previously shared a snap of herself with her former co-star Rob Mallard who plays Daniel Osbourne.

Daniel was devastated when her character Sinead died in October 2019 after fighting cervical cancer.

Katie and Rob dressed up as hippies and flashed peace signs as they posed side-by-side at Lee's celebrations.

"Sinead and Daniel back together once again, dressed as hippies," Katie wrote.

Soap fans were delighted to see them reunited.

The soap favourites won high praise for their roles as newlyweds and new parents Daniel and Sinead, who were torn apart by Sinead's cancer diagnosis.

In heartbreaking scenes, just weeks after they said 'I do,' Sinead died at the home they shared with their baby boy Bertie.

Last year Katie scooped the best serial drama performance for her powerful storyline in Coronation Street at the National Television Awards.

After breaking hearts in Weatherfield as Sinead Katie was back on our screens in series four of the BBC One drama The Syndicate earlier this year about a group of lottery winners.

She tried her hand as a stand-up comic on Channel 4's Stand and Deliver charity show for Stand Up to Cancer.

And she'll soon be starring in the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks as new character Becky.
