Holly's revelation about her hair loss comes on her first day back presenting This Morning following a two-week break to focus on filming for the new BBC show Wim Hof’s Superstar Survival

At the start of Thursday's show, Holly revealed that she had been filming the show in the Alps of Northern Italy and "doing all sorts of crazy stuff". 

The presenter also said that it was very cold at the filming locations and that she had "heat packs in places I didn't know existed".

While Holly didn't partake in any of the tough challenges, she did try and have a cold shower, but only lasted "about ten seconds".
