Tempany Taggart will hit 13 later this month – and that’s when she will have her luscious and lengthy locks shorn to donate her hair to The Little Princess Trust.

She will undergo the chop on April 29 for the organisation which provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or to other conditions.
