Gail Porter's battle with alopecia appeared to be over earlier this year when her hair started growing back, but the TV presenter has revealed on Twitter that sadly it has started to fall out again.

However, 39-year-old Gail is staying upbeat about recent events revealing she is using Star Wars stickers to cover up the bald patches.

She wrote on her Twitter page: "Arrrrrse!!!!! My hair is falling out rather rapidly today. Total of 4 bald patches. Going to cover them with star wars stickers. X"

When one follower wrote a message of sympathy, Gail replied: "Awww. Don't be sad. Got great stickers!!! Always a talking point in the supermarket! xx"

Gail first started to lose her hair in 2005, but rather than wear wigs or hats to cover up the condition, has instead always been very open about it opting to promote awareness of alopecia instead.
