She explained that in the lead-up to her 40th birthday, she decided to cut her hair short for the first time in 23 years.
However, the move made her mother, Jennie, a little nervous.
‘She asked me how I was feeling about coming up to 40. I said, “I’m not having a mid-life crisis!”‘ Carrie said. ‘I’d just been in lockdown so long I was happy to be released so I could do some stuff.’
A different ‘do wasn’t the only change Carrie made over the summer, as she also got a tattoo.
