5FM's breakfast show Dan Corder has vowed never to shave his hair again until load shedding ceases for at least one week.

This comes after the 27-year-old shaved off his hair while live on air.

Taking to Instagram, the star shared a video clip of himself getting his hair shaved off completely in the studio on Monday morning.

He captioned the post: “My head and I won’t cut my hair again until South Africa gets a full week without load shedding.”

He added: “How long do you think it’s going to get before I can cut it 💀”

In response to Corder’s burning question, fans flooded his Instagram comment section, with many asking him if he’s willing to wait a lifetime without cutting his hair.

“Prep yourself for being the lead role in the new Rapunzel film 😂😢,” commented Kirsty Reich Smith

“Oh my, I think your whole life. Hope you are prepared for it. 🤦‍♀️,” said Mohini Sanjay Patel.

“You will have Bob Marly’s hair straight without a doubt 😂,” wrote Marco Ngwane.

“You're going to have to dreadlock it!,” joked another follower who goes by the name AngelsKnowHowToLove.

And some took it to Twitter.

“Dan waiting for that day like…,” tweeted Vodacom.

“It might be a long time Dan... plus, winter is coming...” wrote Malome Ayob.

Khetha Nhlangothi asked: “😭😭 this will not end well. Can you go a lifetime without cutting your hair?”

And tweeps had to drag Matthew Booth into the mix. This comes after 5FM announced that they found Corder’s twin.

And the cheesecake jokes started rolling in.

“Dare I say the picture on the left reminds me of a certain cheesecake,” tweeted @BlacqJacq

And Tupperware.

In November, model and businesswoman Sonia Booth shocked fans when she aired her marital drama on social media.

Sonia took to her Instagram to expose her former soccer star husband Matthew's alleged infidelity, sparing no details.

But it was the cheesecake saga that took the cup. Sonia alleged that her husband baked a cheesecake for his mistress in their marital home, which led to Sonia fetching her precious Tupperware from the mistress’ house.
