Hollyoaks star Jessamy Stoddart reveals hair is ‘falling out in clumps’ after birth

HOLLYOAKS star Jessamy Stoddart has revealed her hair has been “falling out in clumps” after giving birth.

The actress took to her Instagram stories to show off her hair loss after welcoming her daughter Joni earlier this year.

Jessamy, 29, who plays Liberty Savage on the show, revealed she had given birth to her first child, a baby girl, in January.

But it hasn’t all been plain sailing for the TV star, as she admitted that her hair had been falling out in clumps following the birth.

She posted a snap of her dark hair falling out in large wads, which he had left on her shower tiles to photograph.

“Some real talk about post partum hair loss,” Jessamy wrote. “This is the reality of one hair wash, and I’ve not even put a brush through it.

“For context, those tiles are massive,” she added.

In a follow-up, after fans expressed concern, Jessamy added: “I’m losing it in huge clumps.

“I’ve always taken really good care of my hair but post partum, as you imagine, it’s been on the bottom of my to-do list.

“I’ve been wearing it down a lot less due to Joni’s grabbing hands, oiling my scalp less and hardly wearing my silk cap to bed.

“BUT today I’m getting all my hair goodies together and making a promise to try to help myself along a bit.

“I know so much of this is out of my control but a girl’s gotta try.”

It comes after Jessamy revealed her baby news on Instagram by sharing a sweet photo of her tiny newborn daughter.

“Our little girl Joni Drew O’Gorman 04/01/2023 8lb4,” she wrote. “After every storm comes a rainbow, and this rainbow came on the anniversary of us first finding out we were pregnant.”

Jessamy welcomed her daughter with husband Ryan, who she married back in November 2021.

Jessamy revealed her pregnancy news in August, writing alongside a picture on Instagram: “Our little rainbow, due December 2022.

“Getting to this point has been a journey for us – the road to parenthood often is, so to anyone reading this heavy hearted on their own baby journey, I see you and I feel you.”
