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.
“It actually looks quite nice,” she remarked after the cut was made, with the caption on the post reading: “Oh my god #goldilocks is about to lose his hair!!! @adamrickitt @katyrickitt @garethwesthairdressing”
In a follow-up post, Adam’s transformation was complete as he showed off a fully trimmed head of hair with a new platinum blonde dye, with Katy writing: “The new Barnet is back!!!! And I bloody love it!! @adamrickitt @garethwesthairdressing #blondehair”
The change in style was remarked upon by several fans and followers in the comment section, with one referencing Adam’s Corrie character as they wrote: “Well done adam you look lovely looks like nick now.”
