Dastardly Dancing On Ice judge, Jason Gardiner, took the competition's grand finale on the weekend as an opportunity to show off the results of his impressively realistic hair transplant.
The Australian dancer and choreographer took to a transplant after losing his hair so significantly that it caused him to spiral into a mire of what he referred to as self-hatred and depression.
It is thought that the straight-talking, often caustic judge spent as much as £22,000 ($35,000) on the treatment, which was undertaken nearly a year ago. He has worn hats whenever in public since the treatment, waiting until the hair had a chance to fully grow through before revealing the work.
The 39-year-old said that he hoped the impressive effects of the transplant would go some way to eliminating the shame that many men have for hair transplants, adding that it was "not something to be ashamed of".
"Because I am a public personality, if my story can help other people that are going through what I went through, then that's great," he said.
Jason went under the knife for the eight-hour operation while he was in Los Angeles, carried out by cosmetic surgeon, Dr Craig Ziering.
