Viewers were very confused.

Stacey Solomon is a very familiar face to viewers of Loose Women, regularly appearing on the TV panel to share her thoughts. However, many viewers hardly recognised her today when she took her seat on the show looking totally different. Viewers were convinced Christine Lampard had returned from maternity leave early today when Stacey appeared with a new dark ‘do.

Yes, the former blonde has gone to the dark side and we love it on her. But for Stacey, it’s taking a little getting used to.

“I’m still getting used to it,” she said on the show. “I’ve bleached my hair for 10 years, so I can’t do it anymore. I’ve gone back to my natural colour.”

Stacey says she’s learned a lot from going blonde – mainly that it’s a bad idea.

“The one thing I’d say to my 12-year-old hair is: ‘Don’t dye your hair’. “It ruins it, I would love to have my natural hair back.”

What pushed Stacey to make the change? Well, it was actually longtime boyfriend Joe Swash leaving the country to start rehearsal for I’m A Celeb.

“Joe went to the jungle on Thursday, so I did it after he went. "I thought I will let him go and then dramatically change myself.”

But it seems like Joe was slow to notice the change and struggled to figure out what Stacey had done to her hair.
