    According the news this week she is losing her hair again.

    Maybe she didn't want to go incase the stress cotributed to her condition.

    I heard that as well. If so, I can totally understand why she wouldn't do it. Horrible condition, alopecia, I've had it to the extent of several bald patches about the size of a 10-pence piece, but fortunately the hair grew in again.

    Poor Gail, losing her hair again. I think she thought she was over it.

    Very sad to hear that, it is a terrible thing to happen to a woman but Gail even without hair is still a very attractive woman. Hope she recovers soon.

    She hasn't given a reason why she pulled out of IAC. Chemotherapy is a very strong, nasty chemical treatment for cancer and is not without short and long term side -effects. Many people (but not all) undergoing chemotherapy lose their hair at some stage in the treatment. For some the hair grows back normally, for others it can just be a more sparse regrowth, and for some, little or no regrowth.

    As she hasn't said that she is undergoing further treatment, it may just be that she has been very unlucky and that the original treatments had a stronger effect on the hair follicles than first thought. Whatever the reason, she is just as beautiful without her hair as with it!!!

    Hope this helps

    edit.............I was replying to the poster and forgot that she hadn't had cancer just alopecia

    I thought her hair fell out due to alopaecia (sp?) like Matt Lucas or Duncan Goodhew not chemotherapy. Has she had cancer?

    You are right , I have edited my post. The poster mentioning cancer just sent me on the wrong track!

    She has not had cancer, she has alopecia.

    When she appeared on Mathew Wright's show a couple of weeks ago he asked why she had pulled out. She claimed that she hadn't actually signed up to do it and was undecided up to the last minute and then thought she couldn't be away from her daughter for that long.

    I wondered if perhaps she had second thoughts in case the stress of being there sets off another cycle.
