“You look so much better with short hair, so classy,” another commented.

A third wrote: “LOVE the short hair on you! Power house.”

The post comes after The Sun revealed Katie is filming a wig documentary with alopecia sufferers.

The TV star is keen to tackle the stigma around baldness and alopecia – the auto-immune condition that causes hair all over the body to fall out. Sources say it’s a topic that is very close to her heart.

One TV insider revealed: “Wigs have played a significant role in Katie‘s career.

“She has a huge collection at home and often relies on hair extensions to feel glamorous, and she had treatment for stress alopecia last year.

“But she has shown off her natural hair on her YouTube channel and in her TV appearances recently, and the reaction from fans has given her such a boost,” the source added.

“Katie knows that hair loss is a sensitive topic for many people. She hopes the mini-documentary will lift the veil on that and help people who may feel like they are suffering.”

In 2020 Price took fans behind the scenes as she had 500 hair extensions sewn into her scalp, revealing she felt “bald” without them.

More recently, the star underwent a $5000 hair treatment after stress over her bankruptcy left her with a huge bald patch.

The former glamour model said the stress of her life – including giving birth to five kids – has caused her hair to fall out.

Katie said: “I‘ve had extensions since the age of 18. What’s happened, since I like to wear my hair up, I’ve pulled my hair up like this, I’ve had five kids, I’ve had stress.

“A lot of people I know have had extensions, but you‘ll see here, I’ve got – I would say balding actually.

“My hair doesn‘t seem to grow. Now I’ve got darker hair you see it more. Here, it’s just so balding. I didn’t know girls could do (a hair transplant) … and that’s why I’m here.”
