Emmerdale actor and Joe-Warren Plant has made his return to Instagram after a short break by debuting a new platinum blonde look.

The young actor has been absent from the social media site since March 20th, having rarely posted since his stint on Dancing on Ice earlier on in the year.

Taking to his Instagram to ask his followers how they were getting on, Joe was sporting the ice-white new ‘do and we are here for it, tbh.

He gave followers some words of wisdom

He was quick to offer one follower some words of comfort too, after they admitted to struggling with their mental health, 'like a lot of people'.

'It’s been a tough one but hang in there!', he wrote. 'Not too long now.'

Late last year, Joe was paired with pro-skater Vanessa Bauer for the 2021 series of Dancing On Ice, but in November he had to take a break from training after a knee injury threatened his future on the show.

In February they were forced to drop out all together after both testing positive for Covid-19 and weren’t replaced on the show – with Joe one of FIVE celebrities who had to call it quits early this series.

But Emmerdale fans will best know Joe from his role as Jacob Gallagher on the soap, who’s grooming storyline with Maya Stepney dominated the show for the best part of a year in 2019.

Jacob is now involved with girls his own age, but over Christmas that year, paedophile Maya left a baby on the Metcalfe’s doorstep, while viewers were left to wonder if Jacob – or his dad, David Metcalfe – were the father.
