Anton also wrote about his hair transplant in a lengthy blog post on his official website. He said: "Image is very important to me. If, as a performer, you're known for having a good head of hair, should you start to lose it, you lose it very publicly and it can very much affect one's confidence.

"I realised that this was something I couldn't ignore, and of course, that it wasn't going to improve on its own. I started reading up about the various options for treatment, and it looked like a hair transplant could be the solution I needed."

The star added that after the procedure, he now feels like a "new man." He said: "I feel fantastic, like a new man – it’s given me so much more confidence when appearing on television or having my picture taken and I’m so glad I took action when I did."

"I would advise anyone who is concerned about hair loss to do their research carefully, as I did, before proceeding with treatment. You should also be totally confident that the team you choose to help you are fully qualified to do so."

Both James and Anton opted to have their surgeries with Hair Restoration Blackrock in Ireland.
