“Looks stunning! Honestly no idea up until now that you wear tapes,” one said.

Another asked for their own hair advice: “Oooh Zoe…. could I ask… how much hair do you have added in, and which areas? I’m a similar length to you and I’m thinking of adding some for thickness too….any info would be helpful, thank you!”

A third said: “THAT is a fab head of hair!! Looks great well done.”

Earlier in the month Zoe shared a pic of her natural locks.

She had chopped her trademark blonde hair into a shorter bob.

But telling Hello!, Zoe’s hairdresser said: “A total of 15 GL Tapes were applied to the sides and through the back to add fullness and texture.”

Zoe has had a tough couple of years after the divorce from her husband, Norman Cook, in 2016 and the tragic suicide of her boyfriend, Billy Yates, last year.
