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!’
