Rita Simons has ditched her signature blonde hair and opted for a bold pink shade.
The former EastEnders actress, 41, shared a snap of her new hairdo to Instagram on Wednesday after undergoing a hair transformation at the Kink Hair salon in London.
Rita, who played Roxy Mitchell in the soap, styled her ombré pink locks in a wavy ‘do as she posed for the camera.

She simply captioned the post: “#pink @GreatLengthsUK @k1nkhair.”
Fans went wild for Rita’s new look with one person commenting: “This looks AMAZING!”
Another wrote: “Beautiful photo, loving the hair!” while a third said: “Love this! You look amazing.”
Rita left EastEnders in 2017 when her character Roxy was killed off. She played Roxy for a decade.
In September, Rita hit back at rumours she was “desperate” for a return to the BBC soap on Twitter.
Although she admitted to not having “made peace” with being axed from the BBC soap in June this year, Rita denied being “bitter” over the widely-criticised storyline which saw Roxy and her on screen sister drown after Ronnie Mitchell’s wedding to Jack Branning.
“I wish they hadn’t killed us off,” she told the Daily Star.
She added: “Both Sam and I were gutted. That decision was made by one person and we had no choice in the matter.”
Meanwhile, she tweeted in September: “If I read one more headline saying I’m ‘desperate’ to come back to enders…well I won’t do much to be fair.
“For the record I LOVED my time there but I’m SUPER happy working on other things! As you were.”
Since leaving the soap, Rita has starred in a UK tour of Legally Blonde The Musical with former X factor star Lucie Jones.
