Sarah Beeny has donated her hair after being diagnosed with breast cancer, ahead of starting chemotherapy.

The presenter and property expert shared photos of herself with her new cropped look, and the hair she donated to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer.

‘A little pile of not very good condition hair on it’s way to @officiallittleprincesstrust,’ she wrote, showing her four kids cutting off her hair.

‘My trainee hairdressers cut off my hair on Friday night – getting one step ahead after first chemo treatment for breast cancer on Friday – the exclusive club you’d rather not be a member of!’

The Little Princess Trust commented: ‘Wow! What a wonderful hair donation, thank you so much for your support ???? Everyone here at LPT are wishing you and your family the best of luck ????.’

Sarah, 50, revealed this week that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

She told The Telegraph that she had ‘a little bit of a breakdown’ after receiving the news in a hospital consultation room.

She also said she will have surgery and undergo radiotherapy in the New Year.

Despite her diagnosis, Sarah has said she will continue to work and is currently focused on a new Channel 4 series and book she has planned for later in the year.

Sarah also said: ‘I’m lucky because I live in a family where we all talk.’

She added that she plans to draw on her ‘inner strength’ throughout her treatment process.

Sarah lost her mother to breast cancer when she was 10. In 2017, she shared a message backing the charity Brain Tumour Research, and opened up about her mum’s illness.

She said at the time: ‘Mum had her life ahead of her, so many things she should have been doing and looking forward to.

‘It’s hard to think about. As a young girl, I was protected from the harsher realities of my mother’s illness, but I still noticed.’

She has four children and has been married to her husband, artist Graham Swift, since 2003
