Jacqueline Jossa has bravely spoken about going bald after giving birth to her first child.
The actress, who shares two little girls Ella, five, and two-year-old Mia with husband Dan Osbourne, suffered with hair-loss after her first pregnancy in 2015.
I'm A Celeb winner Jacqueline, 27, who was working on BBC soap EastEnders at the time, explained how the baldness "affected her confidence" during an appearance on Katie Piper's Extraordinary People podcast.
Detailing where her hair fell-out, she shared: "My hair loss was completely round the front, all the baby hairs, and when it grew back it looked like it was all growing different ways."
Jac shared that her confidence was lost as she shared: “My hair has always been my thing, my comfort blanket, I’ve always had long hair.
“[When it happened] it really worried me, I was really insecure. I was young, 22, I thought it would never grow back – like this is me now.
“It plays a big part in your mental health because you don’t feel like yourself, you don’t look like yourself. It 100% affected my confidence.”
She recalled: “I noticed it properly the first time I was trying to do my hair [after having Ella]. I love wearing my hair up and I couldn’t for a long time."
She added that she reached out to the make-up team and crew at EastEnders as she had no idea what to do as she was embarrassed that her locks were not the same.
It comes after Jacqueline recently told OK! magazine that she would shave her head for an acting role.
It came after she trick fans into thinking she'd had the chop, posting a photo of hair on the floor with the caption "hair today gone tomorrow" during a shoot for her InTheStyle fashion range last month.
She told the magazine: "I think it's fun to play with the wigs.
"If I had to for a role or something, if they asked me to shave my head for a role I would shave my head."
