After spending years adjusting to her hair loss, Gail Porter has more recently had a new problem to deal with.

The presenter's hair begun to grow back after five years of baldness after she was struck by alopecia, which left her in some confusion about what to do with it.

But Gail, 39, has clearly found her groove as she showed off a chic new look on The Matthew Wright Show today.

The 39-year-old presenter also posted the latest update of her 'Fluff Report' . A new picture of her rapidly growing locks on Twitter recently.

Gail's hair began to grow back earlier this year, and by March 75 per cent of her scalp was covered in hair again.

But amazingly the hair began to grow back brunette, and she has since bleached it after complaining that she was blonde before losing her locks.

And Gail sounded less than thrilled as she told followers of her Twitter page: 'Don't know what to do with my dodgy hair! I'm too used to being bald...I love being bald!'

She added: 'I've been bald for so long now - it's been five years - and I suddenly think, what am I going to do if it came back?

'The majority of it, 75 per cent, has come back but then I have patches round the front so it looks ridiculous.'

But now the hair growth appears more uniform, and it looks like she is finally leaving her bald days behind her for good.

Gail, always refused to wear wigs, and instead has always worn her bald head with pride.

'I put up pictures of my hair every day and then I shave it off and everyone says, 'Ah, it was growing so well!' You see, it's growing back in patches so I have to keep cutting it and shaving it off so it's quite annoying,' she posted on her Twitter.

Divorcee Gail, who has one daughter Honey, 8, from her marriage to Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave, has presented programmes including Dead Famous and The Gadget Show.

She is an ambassador for the Little Princess Trust - a charity which provides wigs to children with hair loss.
