New 'do: X Factor reject Katie Waissel showed off longer locks after having hair extensions as she arrived for an interview on The Alan Titchmarsh Show
Just hours after her X Factor competitor Cher Lloyd unveiled her new hairdo, Katie Waissel has done exactly the same.
The 24-year-old singer showed off long blonde hair after having extensions to make her look more glamourous.
Katie debuted the look as she arrived at the ITV studios yesterday for an interview and performance on The Alan Titchmarsh Show.
What a difference: The glamorous new style is a sharp contrast to her previous gamine crop
It was the first time Katie had treated fans to a look at the new 'do, having told them on Twitter earlier this week she was having help to get longer hair.
She wrote: '@ClareBearLdn is currently making my hair magically grow!!x'
As well as performing her new single The Ugly Truth on Titchmarsh's ITV show, Katie told the host she had struggled to cope with a lot of the negative criticism she received during her time on The X Factor.
But Katie insisted she never considered giving up because she had too many people relying on her.
Anything Cher can do: Katie's unveiling of her new style came just hours after Ms Lloyd tweeted a photo of her newly-dyed hair
She explained: 'I didn't want to give up. There were too many people out there who believed in me like my friends, my family and my Waissel Warriors who were supporting me and I just thought, "I'm not going to give up, it's not going to break me".'
Katie also revealed one of the lowest points during her time on the X Factor was when she was told she had received death threats.
She said: 'I don't understand where it all came from. It did get quite bad at some points.
'I think one of the lowest points was when I was in the car on the way to the studios for rehearsal and I got a phone call saying I had to go back to the house because there had been serious death threats against me with which the police had to get involved.
Style chameleon: Katie has tried various different looks including a long brunette wig and a brown crop during her time on the X Factor
However, Katie came back from the knocks and took to the stage on the X Factor live tour - an experience she thoroughly enjoyed.
Katie said: 'The X Factor tour finished just a few days ago and it was amazing because we got to play such huge venues. I was a little bit nervous and apprehensive after the show but the reaction was so positive - people were cheering and were so supportive and helped build my confidence.'
