Former The Only Way Is Essex star, Mario Falcone, has taken to Instagram to reveal that he has officially donated his hair to The Little Princess Trust to be made into wigs for children suffering from hair loss due to cancer treatment.

The reality star had been growing his hair long especially for the donation and shared a video of himself having his locks chopped off alongside a photo of himself with his official donation certificate last night.

However, Mario is not the only celeb to have shown such generosity, so we thought we’d look back at some other stars to cut off their hair for the greater good.
