It's been a tough time for former model Gail Porter since she was diagnosed with Alopecia five years ago.

But things are looking up for the 38-year-old, who is not only delighted with her regrowth, but also has a new boyfriend.

"I’m getting very hairy so that must mean I’m quite happy now," says Gail, who has been dating New Vinyl guitarist - aka Jonny Davies - for four months.

‘We’ve been keeping it quiet though. I’ve got a bit of hair and a bit of a boyfriend and I’m very happy," she told the Daily Mail after posting these pics on Twitter.

Last summer the Scottish mother-of-one revealed the end of her four-year relationship with cameraman James Lloyd on the social networking site, telling followers that she had been up crying all night.
