Remember Love Island 2018 star Samira Mighty?

Well she's looking VERY different after showing off her red hair transformation.

She's known for her long brunette locks but during lockdown 3.0, Samira has opted for a change and she looks gorgeous.

Posting a photo of her new hair the 25 year old wrote, "Who is sheeeee 🧑🏾‍🦰👀🚨".

So, Samira hasn't fully gone red (because she's actually wearing a wig) but that hasn't stopped her fans from loving her hair.

"Pennnnnggggg❤️❤️❤️❤️," Kaz Crossley gushed.

Love Island 2019 star Francesca Allen wrote, "Omg you as a red head🔥🔥🔥".

And Strictly's Neil Jones said, "👌🏻 Redheads have more fun".

Obsessed.
