Michelle McManus goes for hair extensions for the Christina Hendricks look
MICHELLE McManus a presenter on England's of The Hour.
The 31-year-old presenter dyed her hair red in November in honor of her heroine, the Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks. And she loved the colour so much she has now had extensions made to match.
'But she does admit to being a little bit nervous about unveiling her
new locks on live TV - just in case viewers hate them. She said:
"Incredibly, no matter who or what we have on The Hour, viewers only
ever seem to want to talk about my hair and my dresses.
"When I dyed my hair red, I got a huge response, and while the vast m a j
o rit y were incredibly positive, I did get a few really, really
horrific emails.
"Some are so horrid they make me cry. Most of the time, it's water off a
duck's back and if you are on TV then you do leave yourself open for
criticism and comment. But I can't help being a little bit nervous about
how people will respond.
"It is quite a transformation, after all. I have not gone for the full
WAG look but it is quite a difference. I suppose it's a reflection of
the fact I am going through a period of change in my life with Stephen
Jardine leaving the show and not knowing who my new co-host will be.
"I just feel like I wanted a change and to look a bit different."
When Michelle dyed her hair, she took a picture of the Mad Men actress
into her hairdresser's. She said: "I took a picture of Christina into
the salon to show them the colour I wanted to be.
"I love my new look. I think it's here to stay for a good while."
Bubbly Michelle, who has made no secret of her weight issues over the
years, says her new hair-do has inspired her to think about tackling the
excess pounds once more.
Not that she is unhappy as a size 18. The one-time Pop Idol contestant
said: "Obviously, my weight is always an issue because I had lost 10
stones and over the last few years, I have put three stones back on
again.
"I am now a size 18 which, strangely, I am extremely comfortable with. "I won't say I'm happy but I am definitely comfortable.
"I have learned to love myself and I am really grateful because I love my job. "Wee grannies come up to me when I am shopping and kiss me and tell me how lovely I am.
"And when they meet me, they all, to a man, tell me how much smaller I look in real life. "People on the street are so wonderful and so complimentary."
