Loose Women panellist Stacey Solomon says her hair is 50% grey roots and damaged ends, which is why she invested in a wig. In true kooky Solomon style, she called her wig 'Suze'. We've always loved Stacey for her down to earth nature and honest attitude, especially when it comes to body image and parenting.

“I wouldn’t get surgery again. I think I’m past that. When you’re growing a little human inside you, it’s like, ‘Wow, this is what my body is for.’ All the stuff I used to worry about with my body is a bit irrelevant now.

“I also think the fake look is going out of fashion. Big lips are getting old. I like the natural look.”

Speaking of getting back in shape after welcoming baby Rox in 2019, she continued, “Losing weight wasn’t a priority for me. I’ve been eating healthily, because I want to be healthy for Rox. But I haven’t been in the gym or exercised – it just happened naturally.”
