Emmerdale's Charley Webb leaves fans stunned over real age as she reunites with co-stars

Charley Webb looked dramatically different as she met up with her former Emmerdale co-stars but fans were left gobsmacked as she shared her age.

The actress who left the soap in 2021 reunited with her colleagues as they enjoyed celebrating her 35th birthday in their pyjamas in style.

Charley who found fame playing Debbie Dingle on the hit ITV soap was known for her blonde tresses while portraying the village mechanic but that appears to be in her past.

As she posed alongside the likes of her on-screen mum Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), Lucy Pargeter who plays Chas Dingle and Roxy Shahidi who plays Layla, fans and her celeb pals were left overjoyed with the upload.

In view of her 574,000 followers, she penned: "This is 35. A room with most of my favourite people in our pyjamas. We had a sleepover with a Sound Bath Meditation and I couldn't be happier. Happy thirty-five years to me."

Her post which has racked up over 4,000 likes was soon flooded with comments, with EastEnders ' Emma Barton penning: "Happy birthday gorgeous."

"Bday queen, furious I missed it," added Eden Taylor-Drapor.

While Hayley Tammadon gushed: "Happy Birthday, Charley."

"Oh My Goodness.. Just seen now.. So sorry beautiful. Wishing you a very happiest belated birthday gorgeous, absolutely stunning bunch. Sending much love, Charley," said a second.

Ahead of her grand celebrations, Charley took to her Instagram Stories to document her trip to the hair salon before unveiling her new look for her followers.

While her blonde locks peeped through, Charley was left unsure over her new hairstyle which featured brunette highlights as she said: "Not sure if this is a bit too bouncy blow for me.

"Like, I want beachy not done look. This looks like a full blow dry right now."

Charley was last seen on screens playing Elise in the BBC drama Better which was first aired on February 13 as well as being uploaded to the BBC iPlayer on the same day.

While little is known about her character, she'll appear alongside Leila Farzad and Andrew Buchan who have reportedly struck up a romance after meeting on the set.

Charley has also been snapped filming alongside Katherine Kelly for a drama focused on the Yorkshire Ripper, depicting the crimes carried out by Peter Sutcliffe.
