Gogglebox star Mica Ven revealed her own personal battle with alopecia on last night’s show. The cast, including Mica and her partner Marcus Luther, viewed the viral Oscars moment where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.

In case you missed it, Will stormed the stage at the awards ceremony and slapped comedian Chris after he likened Jada to the fictional action character GI Jane, who shaves her head.

Jada has previously spoken out about suffering from alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. On last night’s episode, various cast members reflected on the now-infamous Oscars moment, including Mica, who wasn’t impressed by the joke but said: ‘I didn’t think it was worth the slap. ’Marcus replied: ‘I’ve seen how you feel about your alopecia at times.

Viewers rushed to social media to share their support for Mica. This wasn’t the first time Marcus and Mica got viewers talking online.
