Jessie J plans charity head shave

Singer-songwriter Jessie J has revealed that she's keen to shave off her trademark black bob for charity and insisted that it "will grow back". 

Speaking to the BBC's Newsbeat, the 'Price Tag' hitmaker explained that she wants to use her celebrity to raise a million pounds for good causes each year and wants to show her support for those in need by chopping off her hair:

"I'm so ready for it. Bic it, powder it, who cares? My hair will grow back. There are times when I wish I could have done marathons, but with my heart problem I couldn't - but there are things I can do to raise money. There are a lot of celebrities who would say 'I'd shave my hair' but they wouldn't."

"My bob has become too much of a thing - and I want to get rid of that. I want to just make money and think it's going to be an amazing way to do it. I'm going to do it on live TV and pick five charities that mean something to me."

Although she hasn't yet set a time or date in stone, Jessie J is determined to keep her word and added, "I'm going to do something every year - raise a million every year and do something people wouldn't expect me to do."

She is set to perform at this year's MOBO awards ceremony, which will take place on October 5, and you can watch her video for 'Who You Are' here:
