Viewers reckoned Eve looked better without her wig (Picture: Channel 4)

The latest instalment of First Dates left viewers a bit emotional after one participant revealed she suffers from alopecia – and wasted no time in revealing her bald head to her date.

Ratched on Netflix: Cast, release time and what is the series based on?

Tuesday night’s show saw beauty therapist Eve Betts initially greet dinner partner Jordan wearing a long dark wig – but soon went on to explain she had suffered from the condition, which causes hair loss, since she was three.

Sorry, this video isn't available any more.

Although she had never removed her wig on a date before, she was inspired to do so after Jordan explained he used to have a topknot.

She went on to explain: ‘One of the main reasons I wanted to do beauty was I went through school, I was bullied and all that.

‘I don’t remember ever feeling upset about it apart from now. It’s really hard’ – before explaining her parents had had to save up for her to have a decent wig and her dad ‘had to work really hard to draw my first set of eyebrows’.



Jordan reassured her that she looked great without the wig – describing her as ‘beautiful’ and ‘unique’.

And although they didn’t meet for a second date, she still won the admiration of viewers.
