Accompanied by her long-term partner Ben Ofoedu, Vanessa donned a short sequinned dress which drew attention to her dark tresses.

The 52-year-old's change comes as a shock as in an interview with The Guardian in 2011, the star revealed that she had "always had long hair" and has been dying it blonde "ever since I could afford the peroxide".

Other stars, including Jo Wood, Gok Wan and Arlene Phillips, turned out to watch the Gala Night performance of Jersey Boys, celebrating a new venue at the Piccadilly Theatre, a new cast, and the show's 6th birthday in the West End.

"She later added: "FABULOUS night @JerseyBoysUK ! Well done @samueldburgess BRILLIANT cast and sound.

"Gok Wan also seemed to enjoy the show. "Just home from @JerseyBoysUK What a fun evening. Great music and great singing... Even teared up at one point. Thoroughly recommend it! X"
