Melanie Sykes has shared a deeply personal update on her ongoing battle with alopecia, revealing that she now feels she’s “two-thirds bald.” The 55-year-old TV presenter posted candid photos to Facebook showing thinning patches across her scalp, giving fans a rare glimpse into the impact of the autoimmune condition.

Despite the emotional toll, Melanie remains determined to raise awareness and tackle her health struggles head-on. She told her followers: “I’ve got an autoimmune condition, I am losing my hair, I keep having crazy inflammation all over and I am working on healing. I’m two-thirds bald, really… thank god I can laugh about it.”

Over the past year, she has experimented with wigs, recently sharing her excitement about trying new styles. “I cannot believe it’s been two weeks since I sat in this chair and tried out some wigs. My hair has been coming out really quickly, and even after a year and a half of losing it, it can still feel alarming,” she added.

Melanie has also turned to meditation and spiritual practices to help cope with her condition, explaining that she’s been living “a very, very, very spiritual existence” while continuing to prioritize her health.

Fans have praised her bravery and openness, hailing her as an inspiration for speaking honestly about alopecia and the struggles many women face with hair loss
