Talking to Weekend magazine, she stated: “Having no hair often seems to be associated with anger,”

“You’re a victim or it’s a punishment, like Fantine in Les Misérables, or Cersei Lannister in Game Of Thrones.

“People are ashamed of their bald heads.”

She continued: “The more I talk to people in this boat, the word I keep hearing is ‘shame’.”

“And I thought: Why? If you’ve got breast cancer and you’re having treatment, the fact you have no hair is not a reason to be ashamed.”

The star shared a picture in August of her four sons, Billy, 18, Charlie, 16, Raffey, 14 and Laurie, 13, cutting her “blonde chaos” in a Game Of Thrones inspired doo.

She explained: “Graham was trying to cut it nicely, but the boys — well, they’re not going to be famous hairdressers.

“They said I looked like Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones.”

The property developee admitted she had her head shaved with clippers used on her cockapoo Maple and had her eyebrows tattooed in case of further hair loss.
