Lauren Goodger, like so many other celebrities, decided to make a fresh start in 2015 by transforming her hair.
"Some silly people have accused me of trying to look like Michelle"
Yup, just as Danielle Lloyd went blonde, and Katie Piper went for the chop, the former TOWIE star decided she was going to start the year anew with a head of brunette hair.
But Lauren immediately came under fire for her decision on Twitter, with critics accusing her of dyeing her hair to look more like Michelle Keegan.
Yup, the fiancée of her ex, Mark Wright.
Speaking about the rumours, Lauren told new! magazine: "Some silly people have accused me of trying to look like Michelle.
"Oh please! I don't think I look anything like her, nor am I trying to.
"I'm happy with being me."
She continued furiously: "I'm allowed to dye my hair. It has nothing to do with anyone else.
"Everyone has told me they really like my new brunette hair and I'm so happy with it.
"People have said it really makes my eyes stand out and I feel more sophisticated with dark hair."
Her comments come after Twitter trolls accused the 28-year-old of trying to become Michelle Keegan.
One user wrote cattily: "Don't think dark hair really suits her and if I was Michelle Keegan I'd keep checking over my shoulder.
"[It's a] bit like Single White Female - spooky!"
Another added: "You are not Michelle Keegan, you silly woman!"
