Tess Daly is known for her signature blonde locks and frequently floors fans with her effortlessly glamorous hairstyles. But her long tresses were nowhere to be seen in her latest ensemble as the star rocked a jet-black bob – and fans loved it!

The Strictly Come Dancing host switched up her usual blonde style for a shoulder-length wig as part of a fancy dress outfit for Keith Lemon's 50th birthday celebrations. The 54-year-old dressed up as Uma Thurman's character Mia Wallace from the 1994 crime film, Pulp Fiction, while her husband, Vernon Kay, wore John Travolta's iconic Vincent Vega outfit, sporting a white shirt, black blazer and bolo tie. 

Tess wrote in the caption: "An amazing evening celebrating @keithlemon being 50 and fab!"

Many of Tess' followers were loving the hair change, with one person commenting: "Omg Tess, you look absolutely stunning with dark hair, I love it," while another added: "I love you blonde. You look stunning dark. Your eyes pop more."

The happy couple have been married since 2003, tying the knot at St Mary's Church in Horwich, Vernon's hometown. They share two daughters together, Phoebe, 18 and Amber, 13.
