George Sampson
The 23-year-old dancer - who is known for being crowned champion on 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2008 - took to social media to announce he was going through with the procedure on Wednesday (26.04.17) at Juvida Clinics in Skipton because his break dancing moves, as well as his battle with alopecia, has caused him to lose his dark tresses.
And the star has admitted the operation was a "wonderful experience" and all went well.
He tweeted: "Well.. happy I can finally announce my exciting news. This has been a long time coming and I cannot wait to begin with @juvidaclinics
"Good night everybody, thanks for all the wonderful supportive messages, will continue to keep you updated with progress, time to rest now...
"Had the best day ever thanks to wonderful people of @juvidaclinics ... the transplant was a massive success and now recovery begins...
" Procedure all finished."
The string of tweets come after the star shared a screenshot of a note he had penned on the site, which read: " SO, on the 26th April 2017, I will be travelling to the Juvida Clinic, Skipton, to have a hair transplant ... This is something I've considered having done for years, I have always been convincing myself I'm not worried or it's not a big deal but really it is. I am only 23. It's not only for my own confidence but also being in my line of work which is very image orientated and unfortunately I felt my hair (lack of) could affect my work. My hair loss comes from three things; alopecia (caused by a lot of stress and loss of a family member), genetics and head spinning, as the hair loss is not only a receding hair line but a strip down the centre of my head. I spend so much time doing my hair (well Lauren does) to try and cover up as much as I can and to make use of the hair I do have. I've decided I've had enough of that, I want my own hair, I am only 23 and balding seems like something which happened to older men (sic)."
