FIRST Dates star Eve Betts has been receiving death threats since publicly revealing she has alopecia on an episode of the show back in 2017.<\/p>\n

While on a date with Welshman Jordan, the beauty therapist revealed she has alopecia and took off her wig on camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now the 28-year-old uses her social media platform to raise awareness about the hair loss disease, but admitted in a BBC interview that she has been trolled for \u201clooking like an alien\u201d as a result of her appearance on the Channel 4 dating show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get a lot of death threats. People saying that I should just die because of the way that I look,\u201d Eve revealed.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI get quite a lot of personal comments on my appearance comparing me to the worst things, like an alien or a robot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of these \u2018out of this world\u2019 kind of comments hurt more than just the standard abuse,\u201d she said, referring to her childhood bullying at school as she\u2019s had alopecia all her life.<\/p>\n

Six years on from her appearance on First Dates, Eve admitted she still gets death threats \u201con a weekly basis\u201d and that it\u2019s been taking a toll on her \u201cmentally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re abusing me because I have alopecia and that\u2019s something that I can\u2019t help. That can just set the whole tone for my day,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

However, even now, Eve is doing her best not to let those comments get to her. She\u2019s turned her diagnosis into something positive and has created a safe space for herself and other people with alopecia on her social media platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, she\u2019s still proud of her appearance on First Dates as it helped to raise awareness about alopecia.<\/p>\n

On the show, Eve enjoyed a nice date with Jordan, who was also looking to find love. Prior to meeting her, he told the confessional: \u201cI do want to find love \u2026 if the energy\u2019s right when I first meet someone they could have a bald head, I\u2019m not bothered, it\u2019s their personality and their energy they give off is what I\u2019m looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just moments later, after Jordan revealed he used to have a topknot, Eve told her date about her alopecia and removed her wig, which he asked her to keep off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt suits you,\u201d he added, noticing her head tattoo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although it was a very sweet date, it didn\u2019t end in love, and Eve has since moved on with current beau Callum Jones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First Dates is available to watch on Channel 4.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
