Michelle Keegan takes inspiration from Kate Middleton with hair colour makeover
Michelle Keegan is your go-to for summer hair colour inspo, flaunting her freshly cut and dyed hair on social media for her fans to see. The new mum, who welcomed baby Palma earlier this year, has indulged in a salon visit and showcased her updated tresses on social media. Snapping a selfie wearing retro 70s shades, Michelle writes: "Summer hair! Love it."
The Fool Me Once star also expressed gratitude to her trusted hair colourist, Calum Tierney, for his magic touch on her rejuvenated locks. The snap reveals that Michelle has maintained her rich brunette roots while incorporating sun-kissed highlights to enhance the overall hue. This season's trendy 'toffee brunette' look is all about these warm, caramel-like streaks, and even Kate Middleton herself is slowly working towards this hair colour for summer after debuting her lighter look just a few weeks ago.
Hershesons Belgravia's colour expert Hannah Gayle is all for the golden or caramel touches this spring. "I am obsessed with this reflective, eye-catching colour for spring and summer," she comments. "It features rich caramel colours and pops of lighter tones, making it the perfect colour for darker brunettes wanting to add lighter pieces without going the whole hog, and great for those with lighter hair, who want more dimension."
We're also fully influenced by Michelle's new haircut, which perfectly complements her lighter hair. With a nod to the 70s vibe of her accessories, it seems she's taken inspiration from a young Sophia Loren, sporting voluminous layers that lend a slightly retro feel to her look.
Michelle's hair styling secrets
Why does her hair have such volume? It's full of secrets... and ColorWow
Michelle doesn't often divulge her haircare routine, but when she does, we're all ears. The actress is a long-time fan of both Give Me Cosmetics' Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Hair Mask, £15, and Garnier's Hair Food Mask, £8.99, attributing both for helping achieve her signature sleek, healthy-looking locks.
The star has also previously shared that she swears by Beauty Works' 10-in-1 Miracle Spray, £11.95, to shield her hair from heat damage, as well as the Balmain Leave-In Conditioner Spray, £33.25, to add an extra gloss.
When it comes to heat styling, ghd's Chronos Max Wide Plate Hair Straighteners, £299, are her go-to. Michelle remarked at their launch: 'My new favourite straightener... with wider plates that create glass-like hair in just one pass."
Harold Casey, Michelle's trusted hairstylist, has previously shared his secrets for achieving her lustrous curls and shine. His haircare arsenal includes the cult-favourite ColorWow Dreamcoat Supernatural Spray, priced at £27, and Bedhead by Tigi Head Rush, costing £14.90, both renowned for delivering a glossy finish.

EastEnders star reaches out after fan collapses during her performance
EastEnders star Michelle Collins has reached out to a fan who collapsed during her Edinburgh Fringe performance. The actress, 63, first appeared as devious Cindy Beale in 1988, with her most recent stint kicking off in 2023. Despite being presumed dead for 25 years, the schemer made a shock return and revealed she had been in witness protection. Now, swapping The Square for the stage, she's appearing in one woman show Motorhome Marilyn at the Fringe throughout August. The play – which is set in the 80s – follows a woman named Denise who aspires to be a Hollywood actress and follow in the footsteps of her idol Marilyn Monroe. She eventually makes the trip to Tinseltown, but her dreams are crushed and she's forced to confront the reality of her life. The character is based upon a real life encounter between Michelle and a woman who went by the name of Motorhome Marilyn. During a performance on Saturday night, the show had to be stopped just moments before its conclusion after an audience member fell ill. According to those watching, Michelle paused the show to offer water from the stage set. The following day, Michelle seemed delighted to receive an update from the unwell woman, who said she had made a full recovery. 'Hello, I am the one who fainted in the front row last night,' they began. 'First off, I am so sorry for ruining the end of your show. Second you were phenomenal and what I saw was amazing. And third, thank you for the water. 'Hope to come back and see the end!' Michelle responded: 'I am so relieved. Just seen this – I was only asking just now if anyone had heard anything about you. I hope it wasn't me talking about what I did that made you ill! 'It was all very worrying. Please let me know if you would like to come back I'll give you a seat and a hug.' I am so relieved just seen this I was only asking just now if anyone had heard anything about you , I hope it wasn't me talking about what I did that made you ill ! 🤒 it was all very worrying please let me know if you would like to come back I ll give you a seat and a hug xxxx — Michelle Collins (@missmcollins) August 3, 2025 Theatre reviewer @therecsuk jumped into the conversation to praise Michelle for her quick-thinking.

Michelle Collins ‘gutted and worried' as she's forced to stop show after audience member passes out and medics rush in
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EASTENDERS legend Michelle Collins was left 'gutted and worried' after being forced to halt her stage performance when an audience member collapsed mid-show. The star, 63, was appearing in a live production of Motorhome Marilyn when paramedics rushed in, leaving Michelle and the crowd shaken. 4 Michelle was forced to halt in the middle of a performance of Motorhome Marilyn Credit: Michael Wharley 4 The emotional performance took a real-life turn as someone collapsed mid-show Credit: Michael Wharley Michelle made her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut with a darkly funny new play inspired by a real-life encounter Michelle had in LA. The show, penned by Ben Weatherill (of Frank and Percy fame), follows Denise - a struggling actress obsessed with Marilyn Monroe. As Denise's Hollywood dream fades, she's forced to face the emotional toll of chasing fame, from ageing and rejection to identity and ambition. Michelle, best known for her iconic telly roles in EastEnders, Corrie, and Doctor Who, called the show 'so close to my heart'. She said: "When I encountered the show's real-life namesake out in LA, I couldn't have imagined that journey would lead me to this point. "However, thanks to Ben's, and my late friend Stuart's, wonderful writing, I can't wait to share this story with Edinburgh audiences this summer.' But the emotional performance took a real-life turn when audience members gasped as someone collapsed mid-show. Michelle was visibly shaken as medics rushed in. She later admitted to feeling 'gutted and worried,' saying she hoped the affected theatre-goer made a full recovery after they reached out on social media. Taking to X, Michelle replied: "I am so relieved just seen this I was only asking just now if anyone had heard anything about you, I hope it wasn't me talking about what I did that made you ill. EastEnders icon facing sack after 40 years amid fan backlash "It was all very worrying, please let me know if you would like to come back I'll give you a seat and a hug x." A friend of the ill theatre-goer responded: "Aww thank you that's really kind. Yeah she gave us all a bit of a fright! "As I said the event staff were so brilliant and really looked after her until the paramedics came. "She's mostly upset that Michelle had to abandon the end of the show - hope she's ok too!" Most complained about soap storylines Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous... EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap's long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners - with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it 'distressing' and 'horrific' but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not "unduly disturbing'. Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom - but viewers didn't like it one bit. The nation's pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don't mess with animal-lovers. Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints - Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford - and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the 'violent scenes'. Michelle answered: "Phew, so happy she is ok as we didn't find out anything, god don't worry about the end of the play more important she is ok I was very worried indeed we all were. "Maybe she can come and just pop her head in for the end? It's a good ending too! Xxx". Motorhome Marilyn is running at Doonstairs, Gilded Balloon Patter House, from 30 July to 25 August 2025. Meanwhile, EastEnders bosses have let Michelle have a month off from the soap to star in the play. As well as playing the Walford villain, actress Michelle also runs a firm called It Worx Limited - which she started in 1996. It takes in cash from her telly work and its bottom line has been swelled by money from her lucrative EastEnders contract. The business was down to £20,000 just before she inked her new deal. But figures sent to Companies House and published this week for the 12 months to March this year show cash reserves of almost £200,000. And she has a Corporation Tax bill of £69,694 – meaning her earnings were around five times that sum. The actress first joined EastEnders as scheming Cindy in 1988 for a two-year stint. She returned in 1992 for six years before taking a longer break. She thrilled fans with a shock comeback to the BBC soap after a 25-year hiatus in 2023. Even though Michelle was thrilled when the show's former executive producer Chris Clenshaw asked her to come back to Albert Square, the star wasn't sure how Cindy would be received by viewers. Speaking at the TRIC Awards at Grosvenor House in London, Michelle said: "I didn't know if people would be happy that she was back. I really didn't know, you have to take that risk! "But, I think she's gone down quite well. I think people are liking her. "People don't want to see nice Cindy. She was nice for a while, and they don't want to see nice Cindy - I promise you, they don't! "Sometimes I'll pick up the scripts, and I'll go, 'Oh no, you can't. Really? Having an affair with his son? No, it'll be fine, people love her.'" 4 She admitted to feeling 'gutted and worried' after medics rushed in Credit: BBC
