Another UK TV presenter has Hair Transplant

TELLY presenter Martin Roberts has told how he is thrilled with his £12,000 hair transplant €“ and how it has revved up his love life. The star, who fronts BBC1 daytime show Homes Under The Hammer, admitted he had suffered a crisis of confidence over his hair loss.
But the married dad-of-two said he hopes his op will now extend his telly career €” as well as boosting his relationship with wife Kirsty.
He said: €œIt was really starting to bug me that I was losing my hair, especially as I am on TV.
€œI was getting very aware of where the camera was in case it showed a particular area of my head.
€œIt began to really affect me. I was even asking the cameramen to not take shots at certain angles so I knew I had to do something about it.
€œI had a three-month break in filming at the end of last year and I decided it was bothering me enough to be worth doing. The technology is amazing. €
Hairs taken from the back of Martin €™s head were transplanted to his crown.
€œWhile it €™s not fully grown, it €™s 75 per cent of the way there and now it €™s brown and growing at the back.
€œIt €™s a very personal choice. I didn €™t feel under any pressure from anyone else. Although, clearly my love life has improved and I can go like a stallion for hours now! €
Martin has been fronting the popular property auction show alongside co-host Lucy Alexander for a decade.
In that time he has travelled 170,000 miles up and down the country to film more than 1,000 shows and around 12,000 pieces to camera.
Martin said he began to really notice the passing of the years when the show started making regular return visits to properties from earlier series.
He said: €œI would have to link into myself nine years before and I just didn €™t realise I had even changed or that fashion had moved on

His hair actually looks worse in the after pic..

Could'nt agree more Mars. The before picture looks alot better than the after. Maybe the Journalist running the report for The Mail, was a bit manipulative and printed another before photo instead of an after one. I hope thats the case, because it looks like he has had zero growth in 8+ months. This is a dreadful advertisement for The Crown Clinic and Dr Shamalak.

It doesn't look good in that picture but i bet the media have made it look worse than it actually is to sell papers.

That clinic seems intend on pushing it's celebrity clients and there is little on their site to warrant going there other than 3 celebs. Shame really Martin would have had a good result with a top clinic. My other half loves Homes Under The Hammer and Martin so she wishes he came to H&W!

Why do these celebs all go there? don't they have people to research this or dare I say research it themselves.

A HT surgeon will always want to do a top notch job on a celebrity client, whether they will do it for the likes of you or me is a different question. A certain American HT surgeon springs to mind here.
It amazes me with the likes of Dr Christain (channel 4, embarrassing bodies) like you said Sparky.
Here is an intelligent guy (must be as he is a DR) and he opts to use a HT Surgeon whom you would be very hard pressed to find any of his work on any HT forums.
A counterclaim to this however could be that the top Clinics in the world whom have worked on Celebs are sworn to secrecy, whereas these minor z list celebrities use a hair transplant to get themselves in the news and create headlines to further their career prospects. But that still does not explain why they would use a questionable Clinic.

What a shockingly bad result. If he's happy with that he's nuts

Actually this is the telling quote:

'The clinic is run by leading transplant surgeon Asim Shahmalak, who approached Martin after noticing his bald patch on the show.'

£12,000 my a*se. I'll bet it was done for free, or the patient was paid. He must be desperate.

Dr Christians result was poor aswell, very pluggy.

Agreed with it being done for free, no way he paid for that if they approached him, lol "hello we are a hairloss clinic and noticed you are gong bald, we can fix your crown for the price of a half decent Porsche 911"

He has been in the press again and here is his result.

It looks like in the after pictures in the original article above he wasn't even grown out;;D unless hes had more work done since.*nl
Just goes to show the press exaggerate a lot because in the same newspaper they originally said it cost him £12000 in the first article, but now in the latest article showing the true grown out picture they report it cost him £6000......talk about confusing!!

Heres his before

On these latest pictures his crown looks the same, if not worse. It's just messed up a little giving a crown combover. Sub par work especially if he had 4200 hairs as stated in the article. I wonder if he took his his own advice from the show, research and view the houses before buying as you could be in for a nasty shock :whatever: (I think not)
I also noted in the article Dr Farjos comments on trusted organizations, he quoted another forum as a trusted organization. I'm thinking he needs to get his facts correct also as a forum operated purely on marketing is not an organisizion at all.
I wish Martin no ill feelings, lots of us make mistakes but I do hope he gets the growth from this this, if not then I hope he finds another doctor to perform his next surgery.

Anyone watching Celebrity Jungle his hair looks awful and very thin.

It is very thin. Possibly his hair loss progresses rapidly.

His hairloss may still be progressing. I wonder if he is using Finasteride or Rogaine.

Having watched him the last few nights on I'm a celeb, I'd say it's not his hair that's making him look daft!

gee this hair good to me.must be the make up, I used mane spray years ago and with tears.

Love this made me chuckle ¬b` have to agree though. My guess is your right BM and hes not using Meds.......i would hazard a guess though that now it's finished and he sees his hair in some of the shows he has another procedure soon*nl

I have a feeling he may live to regret this decision.
