EASTENDERS star Louisa Lytton told fans she’s “going bald” after giving birth six months ago.
The new mum took to her Instagram Story last night and pointed to her hairline, proclaiming: “Will my hair ever grow back?”
Louisa, 32, isn’t the first celebrity mum to open up on hair loss after pregnancy, with TV presenter Holly Willoughby sharing her own experience last month.
The mum-of-three, 40, said during a segment on looking after your hair on This Morning: “After pregnancy, that whole front bit of my hair just fell out, these bits here. Then it all grew back.”
Expert Lisa Caddy confirmed the phenomena, telling Holly: “That’s really common, hair loss from hormonal changes, from nutritional deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction there are so many causes.”
Louisa, who plays Ruby Allen in EastEnders, welcomed her first child into the world with Ben Bhanvra in September.
The actress and fiance Ben revealed they had called their daughter Aura as she also opened up about her Covid battle shortly after becoming a mum.
The TV star said that it was Ben who chose the name after they both spent her entire pregnancy convinced they were going to have a boy.
She explained: “Ben found it somewhere… When we then had her, it was such a shock to the system that we didn’t name her for the first few days because we hadn’t thought about it, so we went back to list and it seemed to be the name that suited her the most.”
The TV favourite also revealed that after a “long labour” she was forced to have an emergency C-section, and just as she was recovering from that she and Ben tested positive for Covid.
Louisa went on: “So it’s not been the best start, but she’s been fine throughout, so that’s all we can ask for really.
“Because we got Covid so soon after having her, we’ve had hardly any visitors yet, which is a shame, but everyone [from EastEnders] has been in touch and I’ve been sending photos.
“Now the doors are open, I’m sure people will be coming to visit, which will be really nice.”
