She was spontaneously joined on Saturday by Arden’s Angels members Caroline Turner, Pat Reynolds, Nickie Brightwell and Lee Skinner Bosley for the stunt.

Between them, their efforts have raised nearly £3,000 towards their £100,000 target for cancer services both at University Hospital Coventry and the Hospital of St Cross, Rugby

They have raised well over £50,000 so far.

Tracie would like to thank everybody who has supported the appeal.

She said: “I was nervous before having my hair shaved off and it is a bit cold.

“We are now focusing all our raised funds on the new Rugby Cancer Unit at St Cross.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to Goodie Two Shoes in Rugby and Nicole Moyse photography.”

UHCW Charity has committed £100,000 to the new cancer centre which will mean Rugby patients can get all cancer treatment (except inpatient stays and radiotherapy) close to home. Visit uk.virginmoneygiving.com/NickieBrightwell
