Coronation Street actor Charlie de Melo wowed viewers at the British Soap Awards when he showed off a new look on the red carpet.

Her character, Imran Habeeb, was brutally killed in a car accident shortly after her partner, Toyah Battersby, discovered she had a child with Abi Franklin.

When Imran pulled Toyah out of the rubble, he collapsed from a cardiac arrest at the scene while Toyah was in an ambulance.

Through flashbacks, viewers saw Imran confess to a devastated Toyah that he allegedly framed Abi with drugs as he drove them home.

Toyah was seen telling her ex that she hated him before the camera caught the car crashing into a scaffolded building, leading fans to wonder if he accidentally had the car.

The fan favorite is now facing a move away from the cobblestones as she deals with the repercussions of her actions, while Charlie quit the soap opera after five years.

At the star-studded event, Charlie was seen in a completely different way posing on the red carpet after shaving his beard.
