Model Erin McNaught jokes about coronavirus having an effect on her new hair colour

With coronavirus creating hysteria, Erin McNaught couldn’t resist making a joke about the public’s reaction to the virus.

In a post on Instagram on Thursday, the 37-year-old said she was trying to decide on a new hair colour, and wondered if her choice would have any effect on the virus. 

‘Blonder or browner?!! Arrrrrrgh the half yearly dilemma strikes again. Will have to find out whether coronavirus prefers blondes or brunettes…’ she wrote.

She also shared a mirror selfie, showing off her wavy lob, which currently features caramel highlights.

And many fans were able to see the humour in her caption, leaving comments on her post.

‘Corona Virus [sic] as the deciding factor?!’ one person remarked, adding a series of crying-with-laughter emojis.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph in April last year, Erin spoke about her decision to move back to Australia after seven years in London.

Erin has been married to British rapper Example (real name Elliot John Gleave), 37, since 2013, and said they decided to return after starting a family.

The couple have two young sons, Evander, five, and Ennio, two.

‘When we first started living in London it was very much for selfish reasons,’ she told the newspaper’s BW Magazine.  

‘We didn’t have children and it was about Elliot’s career… but we always knew we would be moving back at some point because we wanted Van (Evander) to go to school here.

‘In London it’s just so difficult because you’re in a concrete jungle. There are indoor play centres but it’s no substitute to riding your bike outside and running around.’
