CORONATION Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson looks world away from her character on the Cobbles after a Game Of Thrones hair makeover.
The actress, who is best known for playing Nicky Wheatley in the ITV soap, showed off her new look on Instagram.
Kimberly, 36, posed for a selection of stunning selfies to showcase her locks.
The soap star was all smiles with her ice blonde hair and blunt cut.
Kimberly captioned the post: “It’s giving ‘Daenerys Targaryen’
“The girls @angelohairco @fmcf7 @k1ndly_angelohair have served me a hair transformation!”

Another wrote: “So beautiful.”
“I’m speechless, blown away by ur beauty,” a third chimed in.
The TV star first appeared in Corrie back in 2020 as Nicky, a sex worker who grew close to Daniel Osbourne.
After two years away she returned last year for another short stint.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Kimberly said: “People have definitely mixed up my character with me. Men think it’s really funny to approach me and say, ‘How much?’
“I am on dating apps and it comes up on there, too. I just unmatch them straight away.
“But I am thrilled that charities and sex workers have contacted me to say they like the way Nicky is portrayed because she is so realistic and the writers haven’t given her a drug or drink problem.
“She is just a feisty mum, doing it for her daughter — for survival. I am so proud to play her.
“I know plenty of people who work in the sex industry and on things like OnlyFans — it isn’t an unknown world to me and they are just normal people trying to get by. Fair play to them.”
