Abbie Holborn isn’t one for holding back – she’s known for tashing on, speaking her mind and causing chaos with TV bestie Chloe Ferry on Geordie Shore.
But beneath the surface and despite baring all on camera, the 26-year-old is actually a bit of a sensitive soul.
“I am a party girl but I’m also a total home bird too,” she exclusively tells new.
Just a few months ago, Abbie announced on social media that she was beginning to lose her hair. In an exclusive chat with new, the Middlesbrough-born star reveals it was down to the stress of working in the entertainment industry and battling with trolls on social media, teamed with the constant use of hair extensions.
“It took me a lot to post that video. I had it saved in my drafts for days,” she explained. “But I also wanted to show the reality of what I was going through. We can all get caught up in only sharing the good things in life.”
Abbie recalled one moment in particular when she was filming an episode of Geordie Shore that left her feeling more vulnerable than ever.
“Whenever you film a morning scene, the cameras are there bright and early. You don’t even have time to wipe your face. I was laying in bed and my hair wasn’t done, and I must have moved a certain way so that you could see a few bald patches beside my extensions.
“Someone then wrote on Twitter, ‘You’d think she’d have enough money to be able to afford to get her hair done properly.’ That was tough.”
Abbie confesses to having relied on extensions for years to conceal her bald patches, but has now been getting micropigmentation at a specialist clinic.
