Emmerdale’s Jacob Gallagher leaves fans gobsmacked with hair transformation

Emmerdale fans couldn’t get over Jacob Gallagher’s new haircut on today’s episode, as he worked a new chop.

Played by Joe-Warren Plant, the schoolboy hasn't been seen on the dales for several weeks.

Viewers were used to seeing the teenager with long hair and a man bun, but today he looked completely different.

Jacob worked a shorter new look, which towered high over his head.

Over on Twitter, Emmerdale fans gushed over the new look, smitten by the transformation.

One said: “Jacob though, Loving the new haircut.”

A second chimed: “Glad Jacob chopped the ridiculous hair off.”

And a third remarked: “Jacob has finally got a haircut & got rid of that ridiculous ponytail!”

Emmerdale airs on weekdays at 7pm on ITV.
