Earlier this year, former EastEnders star Lucy Speed stunned fans with her natural curls.

The 47 year old actress played Natalie Evans for 10 years across 2 separate stints between 1994 and 2004.

Some of her most prominent storylines included an affair with Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) that ended his marriage to Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer), marriage to Barry Evans (Shaun Williamson) and subsequent attempts to ensure Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) was sent down for his murder.
