Mollie King has shaken up her look – debuting new pink hair.
In snaps from a photoshoot for House Of Solo, the singer, 32, donned a daring rosy wig as she modeled a series of quirky ensembles.
Mollie rocked a leather jacket in one snap, slipping into a figure-hugging striped black and white turtle neck for another.

She then changed into a floral pant suit, before wearing a slinky black number, complete with beret.
In an interview accompanying the shoot, Mollie said of her BBC Radio 1 show: ‘I think humour is always good, especially when doing the weekend breakfast show. In the morning people want something that’s going to make them smile.
‘We also like to keep our show relatively pacey, moving through different subjects quickly, so that while people are getting ready for work, they can just tune in here and there when they can.’
Mollie said that determination is the reason for her success.
‘When I’m speaking to people at school or at college, I think it’s a really important message to put across,’ she said. ‘Obviously, having natural ability, that’s always going to help, but actually I think what helps just as much is putting in the extra hours.’
‘I’m by no means like a confident person even now as an adult,’ she then added.

Last summer, the singer spoke candidly about the ‘relief’ of being diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 10, after being made to feel like like she was ‘stupid’.
When asked how the entertainment industry could make it easier for people with dyslexia and other similar disorders, she told House Of Solo: ‘I think the best thing is to be really open about it. Especially in the music business, and probably film as well, I think there are so many people who are dyslexic.
‘So, it’s nice to be working amongst people who have those same difficulties.’
Her own experiences have only ever been positive however, with Radio 1 giving her listener’s texts highlighted in a different colour, which makes them easier to read, and This Morning allowing her to practice her autocues in advert breaks.

Last year, Mollie revealed that once she received her diagnosis it felt like everything had ‘clicked into place’ and she finally realised that she wasn’t beneath her peers.
Before being told she had dyslexia Mollie explained: ‘The prospect of reading out loud in class filled me with my dread. It got to the stage where I was so panicked that I’d make up an excuse to leave the room when it was my turn.’
It was at this point one of Mollie’s teachers picked up on the signs of the learning difficulty and suggested that she get tested for dyslexia.
She said: ‘I’m so grateful I was diagnosed in primary school, and not any later, because it was really starting to knock my confidence.

‘Once I knew I was dyslexic, I was able to navigate around it. I was given extra time in exams because reading any passage of text took me so much longer than other students. Having a laptop to write down my answers really helped too.’
She also added that although she doesn’t have a typical office job dealing with dyslexia is still very relevant to her career as a singer and presenter.
‘When I’m broadcasting live on Radio 1, I use the pauses when a song is playing to read texts from listeners over and over again. Because if a text is put in front of me and I have to read it on the spot, I probably won’t get it right.’
