BBC Breakfast host Rachel Burden caused quite the stir on social media when she posed for a behind-the-scenes photo ahead of going live on the morning show this weekend.
The presenter looked unrecognisable when she unveiled a stunning new hairstyle, which saw her ditch her side-parting for a choppy fringe.

Fans rushed to react to the transformation, with one writing: "I love your fringe, Rachel. It really suits you!" Another said: "Rachel must say your new hair style is fabulous and really suits you." A third follower said: "You're with me in the studio - you look like a movie star today x."
A fourth post read: "The fringe. I love. It somehow makes your eyes pop more, younger, it gives all the 'stuff'. I know this was a tweet intended for studio admiration but... The fringe. I love it. Anyway, yes, the studio looks lovely #BackToTheFringe."

The journalist made her debut on BBC Breakfast as a relief presenter back in 2015, but in recent years, she has become one of the main weekend presenters alongside Charlie Stayt.
