Former Coronation Street star Adam Rickitt shares hair transformation

Former Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star Adam Rickitt has unveiled a new hair transformation, with the star being compared to Goldilocks by his wife.

Adam played Nick Tilsley and Kyle Kelly on the respective soaps, with the actor also having roles on Doctors and Shortland Street before running a gin bar in Knutsford with his wife, Katy Fawcett.

Though he has sported several hairstyles across his career, Adam’s most recent look has consisted of flowing blonde hair and a ponytail, though he has now decided to opt for an altogether different look.

In a pair of posts shared on the bar’s official Instagram account, Katy explained that her husband had decided to change his hair, saying: “NO! What are you doing?” as Adam chopped off his ponytail.
