TV presenter Alan Hughes has revealed he’s had a hair transplant.
The Ireland AM star admitted that after TV3 moved to a HD studio, he became worried about his appearance on air.
“When we moved into the new studio, everything becomes magnified and so much clearer,” he said.
“You could see every pore, every line and I could see my thinning hair.”

“I’d have them demented in the make up room asking them to fix my hair and there’s only so much concealing you can do,” he told the Herald.
After worrying about his hair on TV, Alan finally went to Therapie Clinic, where he got a hair transplant.
“I had 2,500 follicles removed from the back of my head and put into the front of my head,” he said.
“They individually take those hairs out and then the doctor replants them – it took about nine hours.”

“It takes about 10 months to see a difference, but I’m really happy with it now and people are telling me I look different. I notice it on-air and it feels different.
“It really does improve your confidence, I was worried about camera angles and people seeing my receding hairline,” he explained.
Other Irish celebrities to get a hair transplant include Louis Walsh and Marty Whelan.
