FAREWELL TO THE COLLAR? DANIEL BROCKLEBANK DEBUTS STUNNING TRANSFORMATION AND REVEALS EXCITING NEW VENTURE đâď¸
Former Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has debuted a new look ahead of announcing his next role.
Brocklebank bowed out of the ITV soap in January after 11 years when his character Billy Mayhew was killed off in the explosive Corriedale crossover episode.
During his time on the soap as the beloved vicar, Brocklebank was instantly recognisable for sporting a grey beard.
After leaving the soap, the actor decided to undergo a transformation and recently revealed that he had shaved off his beard.
Taking to Instagram recently, Brocklebank shared a selfie, giving fans a glimpse at his new clean-shaven look.
He captioned the post: âFirst time clean shaven in over 10 years ready to start the next job. Yay or nay?? I canât decideâŚ.â
Brocklebankâs former Corrie co-stars took to the comment section to share their thoughts on his makeover, with George Shuttleworth actor Tony Maudsley writing: âItâs a YAY from me!! Youâre like Benjamin Button, dear!!â
