AN EMMERDALE star has undergone a huge transformation since quitting the soap 18 months ago.
The actor – who had appeared in the ITV soap for 17 years – left the show in a dramatic New Year’s storyline that saw his character brutally killed off.
But now he’s shown off his new look and he looks totally different.
Actor Sebastian Dowling has cut off his long blonde hair and hit the gym to show off a complete transformation.
The star shared some pictures of his new look on Instagram , stunning fans.
He captioned the pictures: “Have you missed me?”
One fan replied: “Holy crap, mans become hulk! looking great bro.”
Another added: “Your chopped bruh …”
The teen had played the role of Heath Hope since 2007 on the ITV show before his character was killed off in a horror car crash, presumed to have been caused by his twin sister, Cathy, played by his real-life twin Gabrielle .
It later emerged that Cathy had not been driving.
She protested her innocence and eventually proved that Angelica King had been the one behind the wheel and responsible for Heath’s death.
After the character’s death last year, Sebastian posted a message of thanks to the show and fans.
Sending a poignant message to all of his supporters, Sebastian penned alongside the snaps : “Thanks to everyone @emmerdale for such a fun time filming over the 17 years.”
Gabrielle herself took a break from the soap earlier this year for her exams.
