The singer, 61, made the admission during Sunday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! the next years of speculation. After Jill Scott complimented him on his hair, he confessed: “Well, mine’s a transplant,” before joking he did it at the “transplant shop.” Good: Boy George revealed he had a hair transplant after seeing the results of Wayne Rooney’s £30,000 procedures during Sunday’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Wayne has spent around £30,000 on hair transplants over nine years. The former England ace, 37, has gone to great lengths to tackle his receding hairline over the years, with two emergency trips to London’s Harley Street Hair Clinic helping to control his male pattern baldness. Taking to Twitter in 2011, shortly after his first surgery, Wayne admitted he was forced to take action after realizing he was losing his hair at a young age. Sharing a snap of his rejuvenated hairline, he tweeted: “Just to confirm to all my followers that I have had a hair transplant. I was bald at 25 why not. I’m happy with the result.” Flip: George has a receding hairline while photographed in 2005 in New York He later joked: “It’s still a bit bruised and swollen when it goes off, you’ll see that first. Anyone recommend any good hair gel. Haha. “I did it at the Harley street hair clinic in London. Thanks to all the staff who took care of me.” His supportive wife Coleen later tweeted: “Hiya!! Yes, Waynes did his hair! It’s his decision, I don’t ask him, as many say!! Pleased for him and it will look great x’. First time lucky: Taking to Twitter in 2011, shortly after his first operation, Wayne admitted he was forced to take action after realizing he was losing his hair at a young age Quite the difference: Wayne’s hair was much thinner when he played for England at the World Cup in South Africa 12 months earlier The astonishing improvement was fully evident the following year as Wayne featured for England at the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine. The footballer showed off a much thicker head of hair as Roy Hodgson’s men reached the quarter-finals, a stark contrast to the drastic receding of his hair at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa two years earlier. In 2013, Wayne returned to the Harley Street Hair Clinic for a second procedure, with the experts again using a follicular transfer, where hairs are transplanted in groups of 1-4 and grow naturally into the scalp. Nightmare: Hair loss has been a recurring theme throughout Wayne’s long career, with his hairline undergoing some major changes Hair we go: Wayne with full hearing at the European Championships in 2012, a year after his first transplant It claims the method is “undetectable” and a “significant advance over earlier hair transplant procedures that used larger grafts” and often produced an “unnatural appearance”. The procedure is “minimally invasive” and therefore offers reduced recovery time and a reduced risk of complications. While costs vary, the clinic is understood to charge £15,000 for 3,000 grafts/7,000 hairs over a two-session period. Wayne has previously been accused of using a hairspray during matches to cover bald patches. Mane man: The footballer showed off his thickest hair at the FIFA Ballon d’Or in January 2012 An eyewitness told the Sun: “Wayne’s hair does almost as many disappearing acts as he does on nights out.” On the pitch, Rooney is focused on trying to lead Derby back to the Premier League after a 12-year absence, while he hopes his role as a manager can lay the foundations for a career in management. Male pattern baldness affects around six million British men and NHS doctors write thousands of prescriptions for the drug every year in the hope of stopping male pattern baldness.
