    Speaking to US magazine Allure, Jen has told how she was never a fan of the famous choppy ‘do, recreated time and time again during the last decade by stylists the world over. 

    'How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen,' she revealed of her famous Rachel look. 'What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs?'

    Confessing she’s quite controlling over her famous luscious locks, she added: 'He thinks I'm a closet hairdresser. I'll take the hairdryer right out of his hands.

    'He'll kill me for saying this, but I've surpassed him in that department. I'm faster with the blow-dryer.'
