Ex-Hollyoaks star Rachel Adejedi looks unrecognisable in glam snaps one year after soap exit.

The actress, who played Lisa Loveday in the Channel 4 soap, recently celebrated her 30th birthday for the second time.

She officially reached the milestone age back in August but decided to mark the occasion once again with her loved ones over Halloween weekend.

Rachel donned a stunning floor-length gown with a cheeky thigh-high split for the bash.

She completed her look with glam makeup and pair of killer heels.

The soap star styled her hair in loose waves and posed for several snaps surrounded by balloons and cake.

Rachel captioned her Instagram post: "You only turn 30 once they say… In my case, twice.

"I had the best time celebrating my 30th birthday with my loves. Thanks to everyone who made it special. I’m so grateful."

Unsurprisingly, Rachel's recent social media update caught the attention of her 136,000 followers with some rushing to leave a message for the star in the comment section.

One fan penned: "Where on Earth is that dress from? You look incredible."

Another added: "You look amazing!"

A third person posted: "You're a goddess."

While a fourth social media user said: "Oh my god you look sooooo beautiful!"

Hollyoaks bosses confirmed that Rachel would be leaving the show after four years in June 2020.

A spokesperson said at the time: "Rachel made the decision to leave Hollyoaks to pursue other opportunities earlier last year, which saddened us at Hollyoaks as she is one of the leading cast members in the show.

"However, the notice period did allow the writers time to give Lisa Loveday an extremely gripping exit storyline.

Rachel's spokesperson added: "It had always been our intention for Rachel to leave the show after a period of time.

"She loved her time on Hollyoaks, and the exit storyline was openly discussed with the producers and her together in a collaborative format."

Rachel's final scenes as Lisa aired in September last year as the character was murdered by her cousin Toby Faroe (Bobby Gordon), who actually intended to kill Mitchell Deveraux (Imran Adams).

Her exit came after Rachel hit out at Hollyoaks over the way they handled the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of George Floyd's death.

Before joining soap opera, the TV personality found fame on the sixth series of The X Factor.
