The star’s hair update comes after it was revealed that Katie is filming a wig documentary with alopecia sufferers.  

The TV personality is said to be keen to tackle the stigma around baldness and alopecia – an autoimmune condition which causes hair all over the body to fall out.

In insider told The Sun that Katie has teamed up with Channel 4 show Steph’s Packed Lunch for the project, with sources saying alopecia is a topic that is very close to her heart. 

The source revealed: ‘Wigs have played a significant role in Katie’s career. She has a huge collection at home and often relies on hair extensions to feel glamorous, and she had treatment for stress alopecia last year.  

‘But she has shown off her natural hair on her YouTube channel and in her TV appearances recently, and the reaction from fans has given her such a boost.

‘Katie knows that hair loss is a sensitive topic for many people. She hopes the mini-documentary will lift the veil on that and help people who may feel like they are suffering.’ 

Last October, the star admitted that having worn extensions for years she’s now been left with bald patches that tries to cover up with spray-on colour.

She said: ‘I’ve had extensions from the age of 18, when you started off with the big bonds. What’s happened is, I like to wear my hair up so over time I’ve pulled my hair up, I’ve had five kids, I’ve had stress.’

Katie also offered a glimpse of the thinning areas on her head, adding: ‘I would say there are areas that are balding actually, and my hair doesn’t seem to grow.’
