Janet Street-Porter panics as she cuts her own hair live on This Morning

Janet Street-Porter was sent into a panic when she cut her fringe live on This Morning.

The Loose Women star joined hairdresser Michael Douglas' live cut-along in a bid to chop her fringe to a more manageable length.

Janet could barely see through her red hair when she first popped up on This Morning for a chat with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

Janet said she usually pops to the hairdressers to have her fringe trimmed every week and that she's never cut her hair on her own before.

Hairdresser Michael instructed Janet to separate her fringe from the rest of her locks with some clips, but without any at hand, she popped a shower cap on instead.

Using her kitchen scissors and a comb she got free on a plane, a nervous Janet did her best to snip away at her hair.

Just as Holly was congratulating Janet on the good job she'd done, Michael tried to interject, getting very nervous.

He told her: "You might have gone a bit crazy there, Janet. I'd slow down right there, you're getting a bit excited."

Viewers could barely believe what they were seeing.

One wrote on Twitter : "Isolation taking its toll when I'm watching Janet Street Porter cut her own hair with a shower cap on."

Another posted: "Janet Street Porter cutting her own hair is brilliant. It should be a daily segment. Each day a celebrity cuts their own hair. Tomorrow Miriam Margoles and the day after Brian Blessed. I'd watch!"

While another tweeted: "I looked to see why Janet Street Porter was trending & as someone with a fringe, I don't know if I'm thankful or worried on finding out why!"

"Janet Street Porter cutting her own hair on @thismorning has been the highlight of #lockdown so far," one wrote.

And another declared: "Watching Janet street porter cut her fringe on this morning is my favourite thing"

* This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV
