MAKEOVER OF THE WEEK
MARTIN Freeman’s partner, actress amanda abbington, unveiled a striking new look at a London party. The 42- year- old, who plays Freeman’s on- screen wife in the BBC series Sherlock, had chopped off her hair.
‘It’s not for a role, I was just bored and I thought: “I’m going to cut it all off!”’ she told me. ‘ I didn’t do it myself, though, because I cut my daughter’s hair once and it looked terrible, so I’m never doing that again.
‘as for mine, I love it. I’m going to keep it like this for a while. I’ll just have to wear big scarves and hats for the winter.’
So impulsive was her decision that she didn’t even inform the father of her two children. ‘ Martin hasn’t seen it yet because he’s not around, he’s in australia filming. I haven’t told him!’
