EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley has stunned fans as she shared a gorgeous snap of herself away from her soap persona.

Lorraine, 44, plays Albert Square’s resident loud-mouth matriarch Karen Taylor on the soap.

And, viewers of the BBC programme are accustomed to seeing Lorraine with her hair tied up in a messy bun on the top of her head.

However, the star showed just how glam she can look when she’s not playing mum-of-seven Karen in a beautiful selfie posted to her Instagram page.

In the image, Lorraine shows off her natural beauty as she goes makeup-free with her long blonde locks cascading down past her shoulders.

Lorraine posted the image to celebrate the first time in a long time she has got her hair done – opting for blonde highlights and a straight blow dry which compliments her blue eyes.

The actress is stood in a garden in the snap, in front of her hairdresser to credit her for the sleek new do.

As Lorraine posted the image on her Instagram page, she wrote in the caption: “Ooh Betty! get me back to blonde,it’s been a while,no make up,all natural….except the bleach,” followed by a winking emoji.


She added that she used the trip to her hairdresser to go for a visit in Lincoln as she penned: “Thankyou @amydavidsonhair for a lovely time in Lincoln,I was a proper tourist with my camera”, next to a camera emoji and smiling face emoji.

Lorraine then added of her daughter Nancy: “Nancy had fun! lots of love and see you all soon xxx”.

The gorgeous image received more than 9,400 likes from fans, while many commented to compliment Lorraine on her new look.

One wrote: “Wow you look absolutely beautiful as always and you're hair looks so amazing” followed by two red heart emojis.

Another added: “You look beautiful”. As a third gushed: “Wow you look different look lovely x”.

Lorraine’s relaxed and happy post is vastly different to the turmoil her character Karen and the Taylor family are currently going through on the soap.

Karen’s step-daughter Bailey Baker, who Karen took under her wing after her mother tragically died in 2019, is currently missing.

The heartbreak of Bailey running away has driven Karen to the edge and even saw her smash up the laundrette in front of many shocked Albert Square residents.

But, Denise Fox and other friends have since rallied round Karen and her family to help them on the search for little Bailey.

The most recent scenes have seen Jack Branning’s daughter Amy help Bailey hide out around the Square – but how long will it last before they are caught?
