The media also caught a glimpse of her new hair color when she posted a photo on Instagram. She was then immediately dubbed, by several sources as the real life Jessica Rabbit. Flanagan was quoted on her Instagram saying: "I look slightly evil, defo think red suits my personality." As if this stunner needed a change to draw attention to herself.

After she posted her Instagram selfie, Twitter was immediately inundated with tweets from people who only had nice things to say regarding this drastc change to her look. One fan even posted a photo of Ariel from the cartoon The Little Mermaid and called the comparison of Flanagan to the mermaid uncanny, to which Flanagan then replied to the fan: 'aw so cute, that's the aim'.
