Following her split from co-star Elliott Wright, Chloe Sims has done what many women have done before her and overhauled her newly single image.

Taking to Instagram, the mum-of-one shared a black and white selfie showing off her new blunt fringe.

She wrote alongside the snap: ‘#blondie #blunt #bangs.”

Her followers were quick to compliment her on her new hair do.

One wrote: “I love ur hair like this xxx(sic)” whilst another typed simply: “Stunning x.”

Chloe, 32, bleached her dark hair platinum blonde earlier this year, following in the footsteps of reality star Kim Kardashian.

But though Kim promptly switched back to her dark locks, Chloe was feeling the look so much she decided to stick with the bleach.

Newly single Chloe split from on/off boyfriend Elliott Wright following the last series of The Only Way is Essex, with Elliott heading off to sunnier climes in Marbella.

With Chloe a regular visitor to the Spanish town, will they be able to stay apart forever?

We’ll have to wait until the next TOWIE Marbella special to find out!
