Dan Osborne has shared a glimpse of his hair transplant after revealing how he had become paranoid about his thinning locks.
The former TOWIE star, 32, visited the British Hair Clinic in Brentwood, Essex on Monday and candidly shared his insecurities before undergoing the procedure.
In a video posted to the clinic’s YouTube page Dan debuted a shaved head after having to cut his hair before the operation could take place.
He said: ‘I’m a bit paranoid about these corners here, my hairline isn’t terrible but these little corners, because of football and training when I am sweating I can really see it’.
Dan then changed into a blue hospital gown before Celebrity surgeon Dr Zabeeh drew on the guide for his new hairline.

Laying back the TV star gave the thumbs up as two nurses got to work on the procedure known as a FUE hair transplant procedure.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) consists of removing hair bulbs individually from the nape of the neck and inserting into the scalp.
Dr Zabeeh said: ‘Dan’s FUE hair transplant procedure was a straight forward and successful one’.
He went on to explain: ‘Hair loss of the existing hair (non-transplanted) can be exacerbated due to high levels of DHT in their blood’.
‘DHT is a form of testosterone responsible for classic male pattern hair loss. Fit young men who train regularly have slightly elevated levels meaning they are more likely to have hair loss due to higher DHT levels’.
Before adding: ‘This means, without non-surgical management of the non-transplanted hair, they may need to come back in a few years to have further surgery. Dan was advised to maintain his existing hair using a combination of medication and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment’.
Other celebs to have visited the British Hair Clinic include TOWIE’s Kirk Norcross and Junaid Ahmed as well as Hollyoaks’ Jamie Lomas.
It comes after Dan revealed how wife Jacqueline Jossa was ‘excited and worried’ about the return of her EastEnders character Lauren Branning.

He told The Mirror that Jacqueline, 30, was ‘excited’ and ‘worried’ to return EastEnders, having last been on The Square briefly in June.
The former TOWIE star said that Jacqueline is ‘excited to go back, she can’t wait.’
‘For a long time, she was worried Lauren was going to get written back into it, but now she is excited to go back. The time is right now for her so it’s good.’
Jacqueline was the second actress to portray Lauren Branning, first daughter of the infamous Max Branning, and has done so since 2010.

Speaking at Thorpe Park FRIGHT NIGHTS 2023 launch event, Dan says that he probably won’t be watching her comeback.
‘To be honest, I don’t watch much on TV, if anything it’ll be Netflix or something like that.’ He admitted. ‘But, I’m sure the girls will watch bits.’
Dan and Jacqueline have two daughters together: Ella, 7, and Mia, 4. He also has son Teddy, 9, from a previous relationship.
Jacqueline has thrown herself into motherhood since leaving her role as Lauren, and has only made two appearances as the character since 2018.
The actress also won the nineteenth season of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and was crowned Queen of the Jungle.
