Loose Women viewers stunned as Nadia Sawalha debuts new hair on show

Loose Women panelist Nadia Sawalha shocked viewers on today's show as she showcased her new hair style.

Nadia showed off her brand new locks on the ITV show today which resulted in her co-stars - Frankie Bridge, Kaye Adams and Carol McGiffin - commenting on her new locks as they opened the show.

Nadia usually dons big curly locks but she looked very different today, and she even said that her new hair do was inspired by none other than the Duchess of Cambridge herself.

She looked so different that host Kaye said she didn't even look like a Nadia now, as they debated what she should change her name to in order to mark her changing appearance.

As they discussed possible names including Arlene amongst others, Nadia explained her decision behind changing her hair.

Viewers of the show rushed to social media to praise her new look, with one writing: "Liking Nadia’s straight hair #loosewomen."

A second added: "Nadia keep your hair that way it looks so much better #LooseWomen," as a third shared: "Nadia’s hair… #LooseWomen." A fourth even suggested a new name for Nadia, writing: " @loosewomen I think Nadia looks like a Julie now."

Later in the show, they discussed her new hair do - as Kaye said she looked "cleaner" and "more groomed".

Nadia admitted she was worried about exposing her neck and cheekbones more, but the other panellists praised her new look, as they commented on her great bone structure and said it really suited her.

Meanwhile, Nadia previously opened up exclusively with The Mirror about being on the show, insisting she "never reads about herself" before going on the programme - and advises others to do the same.

"What you want to do is you want to be totally free. So no, those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind. That is my mantra. It's what I teach my kids. If I get trolled, if I get anything like that, I just think, would I go out there now and ask the person at the bus stop what they think of me and then take it to heart and go in and really worry about and keep myself up at night?" she said.

She regularly posts skin-baring snaps online - usually to recreate something Kim Kardashian has - but she insists she lacks body confidence and instead she focus on just accepting her body.

"It's total rubbish when people call me a body confident person. I'm not. I've just got acceptance that it's been so nice to me this body and I feel so bad about the way I've been so horrible to it," she said, "Every time I do it, I spend ages before I can post it, asking 'what do you think?' I never ask my daughters whether I should, because the answers are always no.

"But I do it and then I read the comments and it feels good. It helps me stay on the straight and narrow of not getting back into that toxic thing of 'what is this new diet?'"
