Suranne Jones looks VERY different with scruffy blonde bob as she transforms for new ITV heist drama Frauds with Jodie Whittaker
Suranne Jones looks very different with a scruffy blonde bob as her character in upcoming ITV heist drama Frauds. The new six-part show, created by Suranne and Annie-Marie O'Connor, is set to hit our screens later this year. Now a sneak peek of the actress as her alter-ego Bert in the drama, and her co-star Jodie Whittaker, has been shared. Suranne, who usually rocks dark hair, can be seen sitting in the passenger seat of a red car with much lighter locks. Meanwhile Jodie, who plays Sam in the programme, looks concerned gazing over at her from the driver's seat. ITV's official press release alongside the images says: 'As Sam has sought a low-key life, Bert's release from a Spanish prison for compassionate reasons reignites her ambition for one final, significant score. 'On the pretext of one final, multi-million-pound art heist, Bert attempts to lure Sam out of retirement, but at what cost? 'Can Sam stay one step ahead of her former friend, who is clearly capable of treachery? 'Or will the push and pull of their toxic friendship see them both ruined before they are able to pull off the job?' Suranne and Jodie are joined by Horacio Colomé, Talisa Garcia, Abdul Salis, Karan Gill, Elizabeth Berrington, Lee Boardman and Christian Cooke on the show. The likes of Thais Martin, Kate Fleetwood, Javier Taboada and Nansi Nsue are part of the star-studded cast too. Frauds will follow Bert fulfil her 'one final job' after spending 10 years in a Spanish prison. ITV announced that Frauds had been commissioned in January 2025. Suranne said at the time: 'Working on Frauds with Anne-Marie and Monumental for the last 2 years has been a wild ride. 'We took the idea of toxic female friendship and turned it on its head to give the heist genre an emotional heartbeat. 'I have always wanted to work with Jodie, and now I am. 'I hope you love Bert and Sam and all they get up to as much as we do.' Senior Drama Commissioning Editor at ITV, Helen Ziegler, said: 'We are delighted to be working with Suranne, Anne Marie and the brilliant team at Monumental on their unique take on a heist show. 'At its heart this is a story of a complex, surprising friendship, which asks if Sam and Bert can pull together for one last job, or whether the past will derail them. 'Suranne and Jodie are two incredible actors and it'll be thrilling to see what they bring to the central characters.' Frauds was written by Anne-Marie O'Connor, while Giulia Gandini directed the drama. The executive producers include Anne-Marie, Suranne, Debra Hayward, Alison Carpenter and Jill Forbes. The producer is Pat Tookey-Dickson and the company used was Monumental Television. It comes after Netflix released its first trailer for the-hotly anticipated political thriller Hostage starring Suranne Jones - and fans are already saying the same thing. The high-stakes drama is anchored by a powerful performance from English actress Suranne. The 46-year-old Vigil star not only plays the UK Prime Minister, but she also held a vital role as executive producer, marking her first project with Netflix.

Love Island fans convinced show couple have secretly SPLIT after spotting tell-tale sign
LOVE Island fans have been left convinced that one show couple have already split as the show comes to an end. Eagle-eyed viewers think it is all over for one recently rekindled pair who were dumped from the ITV2 show just days before the final. 4 Megan and Conor managed to rekindle their connection after the Irish stunner re-entered the villa for a second time this series. In a telling move, Conor failed to acknowledge or thank his villa partner Megan in his post-villa social media message. Taking to Instagram after being booted and just moments before the final, Conor wrote: "The craziest 8 weeks of my life. Thank you so much for all the support. "Hope I did all you guys proud, especially my Irish people." Conor went on to share a series of snaps with his fellow axed Islanders but failed to post a photo with Megan. He further congratulated winners Toni and Cach in another social media snub to Megan. Viewers watching along at home were also left trying to spot them together in the audience with many claiming they could not be seen - fuelling further speculation that the pair could have secretly split over the weekend. One fan wrote online: "I havent seen Conor and Megan together all night!!" As another added: "Anyone spotted that Conor and Megan were sat apart?!" Elsewhere, when Megan was brought up to the sofa to be interviewed by Maya, she was not joined by Conor. Love Island champs Toni and Cach reveal how they'll spend £50k winnings as they beat Shakira and Harry Fellow couples Tommy and Lucy and Ben and Andrada were featured together in the segment. Megan and Conor were dumped from the villa just days before the final after failing to be voted as one of the most compatible couples in the villa. Following their show axe, fans noticed how Megan and Conor did also tellingly not return for the show's final vote - which resulted in the axe of Dejon and Meg. On Sunday night, 18 former Islanders returned to the villa to vote out one couple from the new bottom two, which comprised of Angel & Ty and Meg & Dejon. Fans quickly noticed the couple's absence and questioned why they did not take part despite still being in Spain and appearing on After Sun. The Sun can now reveal the real reason why Megan and Conor were absent from casting a vote with the other Islanders. "They were dumped as part of the public vote that also decided who was in the bottom two couples - so it wouldn't have been fair to let them vote," a source told the The Sun. "The vote was only for people who had been axed in previous dumpings, not the current one." 4 4
