Soap star looks unrecognisable after major makeover

EASTENDERS star Tilly Keeper looked very different from her time as Louise Mitchell on the BBC One soap.

The actress, 25, showed off her brand new hair transformation, featuring darker highlights and a ruffled fringe.

Tilly - who appeared in the fourth series of the the US Netflix smash hit You, shared the smouldering snap with fans.

She wore bright red lipstick and flicks of black eyeliner as she showcased her layered locks on Sunday night.

The TV star captioned it: "In my Daisy Jones and The Six era," referring to the American musical drama which follows the story of the iconic 1970s band.

Despite wowing fans with her chic hairdo, Tilly revealed that her fringe was in fact fake.

She added: "Faux fringe not real, no one panic."

The actress - who was best known for portraying Phil Mitchell's daighter from 2016 to 2020 - secured herself the role of Mimi in the Netflix show.

She starred alongside lead actor Penn Badgley and Dario Coates, who Coronation Street fans will remember as the son of Kym Marsh’s Michelle Connor, and Eve Austin, who was Tabitha Taylor-Rudd on Emmerdale.

Tilly joined EastEnders in 2016, getting caught up in an explosive storyline when she got pregnant with Keanu Taylor's child.

Awkwardly, he'd been cheating on her with Sharon Mitchell - Phil's wife - making him a marked man when the news got out.

All hell broke loose on Christmas Day, with Ben Mitchell blackmailing Martin Fowler into killing him.

However, while viewers were led to believe the lad had gone through with the murder, it later emerged that Keanu had been free to skip the country.

Louise's final scenes, which saw her escaping the Square too, aired in January last year.

Since leaving EastEnders Tilly has starred in short films True Colours and  Do This For Me and appeared in Reggie Yates' BBC drama Make Me Famous.
