What Not to Wear style guru Susannah Constantine talks candidly about hearing loss and blames her 'rock and roll' past

Fashion guru Susannah Constantine has opened up about her recent diagnosis of hearing loss, describing it as an "indication" of her "rock 'n' roll past" while also admitting that the condition has left her feeling "isolated."

Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, the 61-year-old co-host of What Not To Wear revealed that she first started to realise she was losing her hearing when she no longer could distinguish the sounds of birds.

“There’s a huge amount of stigma around it (hearing loss), and I found that myself," Constantine confessed. "I began to notice this and I did not want to admit to myself that I might be going deaf.”
