Gail Porter has debuted her beautiful new hair on Loose Women today (August 13).
The TV presenter walked into the studio to huge cheers from the audience, which led to her reaching for the tissues.
Speaking to panellists Coleen Nolan, guest Kacey Ainsworth, Nadia Sawalha, and Anne Diamond (who were all complimenting her hair), Porter said she wanted to show her wig for the first time in more than a decade to prove that they can look real, before adding that she still enjoys being bald.
"[The hair] feels really weird, but really nice," Porter said. "It reminds me of being young! I feel quite young today.
"When I saw this colour, it did remind me a bit of being in the '90s, and I thought, 'I quite like that'. And obviously it was fitted for me and everything.
"The great thing about this is, I can take it off and be bald, because I love being bald– I'm so used to it. But I thought it would be great to show other people that you can get things as real as this.

"I think I'll always be bald half the week. I don't know when I'll wear this... I might go out for dinner or something. But yeah, I enjoy being bald, but I want to show people that you've got a choice."
Also on the show today, Kacey Ainsworth explained why a return to EastEnders as Little Mo is not logistically possible at this moment in time.
