Since rising to fame in Celebrity Big Brother seven years ago, Chantelle Houghton has flitted between being a blonde and brunette.
And after three years as a blonde, the glamour model has decided to become a brunette again.
The single mother, 29, was spotted leaving a salon with hairdresser Shane O'Sullivan on Monday after having her hair dyed.

As well a change of colour, Chantelle also had new Easilocks hair extensions added to give her a long glossy mane.
Despite admitting she had gained a few pounds in recent months, Chantelle clearly has retained her body confidence as she stepped out in a floral mini dress.
Meanwhile, Chantelle admitted this week that she needs to 'rein it in a bit' after feasting on her favourite foods.

Difference: Chantelle was previously a brunette in 2010

The model was spotted visiting a Nando's in Essex last week and admitted the chicken meal was just one of many takeaways she enjoyed.
She wrote in her new! magazine column: 'I've been on diets all my life and it's so boring. When I get a moment to myself, I just want to sit down and have a treat.
'I'll have to rein it in a bit though - the nice comments (about my weight) have made me eat more. I've had a Chinese meal, an Indian takeaway and a Nando's this week.'
Earlier this month, Chantelle admitted she had gone up two dress sizes and blamed her weight gain on her love of takeaways.
As a single mother to Dolly, from her 17 month romance with ex-fiance Alex Reid, Chantelle admits hitting the gym is the least of her priorities.
She said: 'I went to buy a new dress last week and was shocked to discover I'd gone from a size 10 to a size 14.
''I think most Mums will agree that it's a struggle to keep in shape when you've got a baby.'

The brightly hued material perfectly complemented her Miami girl tan, enhancing her glow.

In a preview for the new season of the show, Joanna is seen discussing a pre-nup with Romain, furiously suggesting he is already preparing for divorce.

The new season will also feature her costar Adriana De Moura's wedding, and both women slip into full bridezilla mode and argue over competing guest lists, bridal parties and bachelorette festivities

Joanna meanwhile has other things cooking in the fire including a new DVD workout series with fitness expert Philip Gray due for release this autumn.
