Veteran Neighbours star Alan Fletcher has unveiled a new look to fans on social media, revealing he has a hair loss disorder, alopecia areata.
British fans have already seen Dr. Karl without hair, but Fletcher assured them he is fighting fit and happy.
“A lot of fans have expressed a little concern about my health on the internet, and there have been some media inquiries as well, so I just want to put something to rest. I am absolutely fine. I’m fit and well working on Neighbours and having a great time,” he said.
“But, I can report to you, I do have a disorder called alopecia areata.”
“I know a lot of you are going to be pretty shocked, but I have no problem with it. In fact, it’s kind of fun,” he explained.
He also spoke about the difficulties for younger people dealing with hair loss. Good stuff, Alan.
Alan has a message for you 💛

Fletcher also held up the last ever Neighbours script.
“I know a lot of you are gutted that Neighbours is ending, but I can promise you the end is going to be sensational,” he said.
The show has also teased a character death and possibly more names (or red herrings) to return….
