Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has reportedly been told to get rid of her new hairstyle.

The actress, who plays Rosie Webster, has taken a three-month break from the ITV1 soap, during which she has cut her hair short and dyed it blonde.

She had claimed that show bosses were fine with the new look, but they have apparently requested that she reverts to her old brunette hairstyle before she returns to Coronation Street next month.

"They've said they don't want such a huge change for the character. It'll take her hours at the hairdresser - she's gutted," a source told the News of the World.

Speaking of the change last month, Flanagan said: "I've always wanted to be blonde, so I'll be keeping it like this for a while. Of course work knew I was doing it. Rosie is a model, so when she comes back, she'll have a totally new image. It gives her a more edgy look."

Flanagan recently signed a new 12-month contract with Coronation Street worth £70,000 and will apparently star in her own online spinoff.

Its hard to say which one is the thickest. Dye her hair blonde and she is the proper dume blonde.

Not that all blondes are dume.

Wasnt Rosie suppose to be smart and intelligent when she was with Craig??????

she is right that Rosie probably would come back from London with a stupid new haircut like the one she has, so they should keep it and have everyone on the street laugh at her...

A SCANDALOUS storyline has been written to celebrate the return of Helen Flanagan to Corrie.
She will strip down to her frillies as her character, scheming Rosie Webster, tries to seduce her mum Sally's new fella Jeff.
But viewers won't see the racy scene until September.
Helen, 20, starts filming again next month after a three-month break to spend time with her boyfriend, Swansea City footballer Scott Sinclair, 22.

Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has been holidaying in Florida with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair.

The actress, who plays Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, was spotted enjoying a day out at a waterpark with the Swansea City star.

"They're a gorgeous couple and obviously head over heels in love," another holidaymaker told the News of the World.

"Helen was squealing for joy as they swooshed down the flume on a raft."

Flanagan has taken a three-month break from the show to spend time with Sinclair. During her time off, she unveiled a new, short blonde hairstyle.

However, ITV bosses have reportedly requested that she returns to her old brunette style before resuming filming later this month.

Flanagan, who recently signed a new 12-month contract with Coronation Street, is said to be "looking forward" to returning to the show.

Coronation Street's Rosie Webster will pursue her dream of becoming a famous top model in a new three-part spinoff.

The online drama will mark Helen Flanagan's return to the show, after the actress took time off from the role as the eldest Webster.

The 20-year-old, who went peroxide blonde during her break, returned to filming this week after having her cropped locks dyed brunette again.

A special Rosie Webster Twitter account and new website will also be launched. Viewers will see the ambitious model discuss her plans on the parent series. Rosie will also take boyfriend Jason Grimshaw to London to appear on Lorraine Kelly's daytime show.

The online spinoff will follow Rosie's exploits as she becomes an internet sensation following a scrap with a rival model on Lorraine, an appearance on Loose Women and interview with Capital FM's Jonny Vaughan and Lisa Snowdon.

"This is a great opportunity for fans of Coronation Street to watch extra exclusive content on ITV.com that links back into the main show on ITV1," a show spokesperson said.

The ITV production follows previous online successes such as Gary's Army Diaries and Ken and Deirdre's Bedtime Stories.

She was ordered to dye it back to dark before returning to filming and it suits her better, makes her big blue eyes stand out, I think
