Strictly Come Dancing’s Anton Du Beke just had a hair transplant in Dublin and is delighted with the result.
The TV judge, 57, has revealed how hair was taken from the back of his head, and put on the top.
He told the ITV Loose women panel, referring to his new lid: ‘It’s all mine, I just had it shifted about.
‘They take it off the back and have it replanted at the front, he’s (the doctor) an absolute genius.
‘I want to be like Bobby [Brazier], wafting in the air being gorgeous and youthful.’
In 2018, Anton had his first hair transplant and said it did wonders.
‘It’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made – I feel 25 again!’ he wrote on X formerly Twitter, at the time.
Now he’s returned for round two, Anton is over the moon, and credited Dr Maurice Collins at Hair Restoration Blackrock in Ireland as a ‘genius’.
An International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery census in 2022 found that almost 32% of patients needed at least two hair transplants to achieve their desired results.
Anton also chatted about the Strictly Come Dancing Live! tour, which is sashaying across the UK at the moment.
But as is the case with the theatre, darling, things don’t always go to plan when performing in front of a live audience, as judge Anton revealed on the magazine show.
‘We had a nasty incident – I hope they don’t mind me saying – last night, where one of the girls’ hair pieces came off across the floor,’ he said.
‘Absolutely brilliant,’ Anton joked, ‘brought the house down, best night we’ve had on tour.’
‘The partner stood on it,’ he added, mimicking the moment.
Although Anton didn’t name which Strictly star lost their wig, it seems the individual in question – Ellie Leach – isn’t bothered about the hairy moment one bit, as she posted the video of wig-gate on social media, and seemed to find it amusing.
Filmed by a member of the audience, the video sees Vito Coppola and Ellie performing the Paso Doble.
As he swings her around, gravity appears to defy hair pins and her dramatic curly wig is flung off her head, revealing her neatly packed bun.
Asked if the rumours were true of a romance between finalist Bobby and Strictly winner Ellie, he said: ‘There is always rumours, I don’t know because I spend all my time with Craig [Revel Horwood, his fellow judge).
‘We travel together and share a dressing room together, we are like an old married couple. I don’t get to see any of the shenanigans.’
Ellie and Bobby, who was a Strictly finalist with partner Dianne Buswell, are now said to have kissed and been on secret dates.

‘They’ve been spending nearly all their free time together before and after performances. They’ve been having their meals together, and flirting increasingly openly,’ a source told The Sun.
Anton’s fellow judge Craig also no idea about the romance rumours, and heard of it for the first time when asked by Metro.co.uk.
He told us: ‘Ellie and Bobby?! No, I didn’t [see that coming], I didn’t even know about that, but there you go.’
