The former painter and decorator from Essex had his first hair transplant in 2012, the second in 2014 and third in 2019.

Matt said: “It looks as it did when I was 20.

“If anything’s going to age you, it’s hair.

“It made me really self-conscious.

“People think because you’re a guy it’s fine. I get angry as women can put stuff in their lips or chest and it’s fine.

“But if a man moves hair to the top of his head, it’s not.”
