New 'do: X Factor reject Katie Waissel showed off longer locks after having hair extensions as she arrived for an interview on The Alan Titchmarsh Show


Just hours after her X Factor competitor Cher Lloyd unveiled her new hairdo, Katie Waissel has done exactly the same.

The 24-year-old singer showed off long blonde hair after having extensions to make her look more glamourous.

Katie debuted the look as she arrived at the ITV studios yesterday for an interview and performance on The Alan Titchmarsh Show.


What a difference: The glamorous new style is a sharp contrast to her previous gamine crop


It was the first time Katie had treated fans to a look at the new 'do, having told them on Twitter earlier this week she was having help to get longer hair.

She wrote: '@ClareBearLdn is currently making my hair magically grow!!x'
As well as performing her new single The Ugly Truth on Titchmarsh's ITV show, Katie told the host she had struggled to cope with a lot of the negative criticism she received during her time on The X Factor.

But Katie insisted she never considered giving up because she had too many people relying on her.


Anything Cher can do: Katie's unveiling of her new style came just hours after Ms Lloyd tweeted a photo of her newly-dyed hair


She explained: 'I didn't want to give up. There were too many people out there who believed in me like my friends, my family and my Waissel Warriors who were supporting me and I just thought, "I'm not going to give up, it's not going to break me".'

Katie also revealed one of the lowest points during her time on the X Factor was when she was told she had received death threats.

She said: 'I don't understand where it all came from. It did get quite bad at some points.

'I think one of the lowest points was when I was in the car on the way to the studios for rehearsal and I got a phone call saying I had to go back to the house because there had been serious death threats against me with which the police had to get involved.

However, Katie came back from the knocks and took to the stage on the X Factor live tour - an experience she thoroughly enjoyed.

Katie said: 'The X Factor tour finished just a few days ago and it was amazing because we got to play such huge venues. I was a little bit nervous and apprehensive after the show but the reaction was so positive - people were cheering and were so supportive and helped build my confidence.'

So that's why Cher Lloyd looks the picture of health - she lives on greasy portions of chips

By Daily Mail Reporter


'Look, I do eat, honest!' Cher Lloyd points at the large portion of chips she was seen scoffing in Brighton today


She's endured months of speculation about her thin frame - but Cher Lloyd seemed determined to prove the doubters wrong by getting stuck into some chips as she walked along Brighton seafront earlier today.

The 17-year-old flame-haired star was tucking into a large portion of the traditional seaside snack ahead of the X Factor Live date at the Brighton Centre tonight, where she'll be joined by other finalists from last year's show.

However, the greasy fare could certainly explain why the star has been sporting such a spotty complexion of late, if not her underweight body.

Ever since the wannabe superstar auditioned on The X Factor, there have been worries about her slender figure with fears that she could be suffering from an eating disorder.

The fears weren't exactly eased when Cher pulled out of the tour's date in Manchester on Tuesday after falling ill.

Officially, a throat infection was blamed. But many people - including fellow contestants - have been worried that the frail teen simply isn't eating enough.

Nevertheless, the former student from Malvern, Worcesteshire, insisted last year: 'I am eating. There is no problem. Of course I am eating I wouldn’t be able to perform if I wasn’t.'

And the pint-sized popstrel seemed determined to allay rumours that her no-show was nothing to do with a lack of food by shoving down the deep fried al fresco snack today.

However, Cher was covering up her lack of curves with baggy casual wear - and and her rather spotty complexion with her usual heavy foundation.

The star was wearing a grey marl padded bodywarmer, grey marl sweatpants, a lemon yellow and grey marl striped top and tan coloured Adidas trainers to go with her over-sized designer handbag.

Her hair was scraped back into a rather harsh high pony tail, much like the 1990s fabled 'Croydon facelift' hair style.

Cher was also wearing clashing bright pink lipstick with clashed somewhat with her magenta dyed hair.

She's on the road on the X Factor Live tour with Katie Waissel, Aiden Grimshaw, Rebecca Ferguson, Matt Cardle, Paige Richardson, Mary Byrne, Wagner and One Direction.

They play a second date at the Brighton Centre tomorrow before moving onto London's O2 for three shows, including a matinee and evening shows on Saturday March 19 and another date on Sunday March 20.

It then heads to Nottingham, Newcastle, Aberdeen and Glasgow before wrapping up at Cardiff Arena on April 5 and 6.
