‘I shaved my head and what they do is take hairs from the back of your head and they put them on the front.
‘Basically I had enough hair, it was just in the wrong place. It was a bit of redistribution.’
The funnyman, who hosts Channel 4 panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats, also admitted that he was considering getting a hair transplant last year.
He said on The Jonathan Ross Show: ‘We were talking about hair transplants. I want a proper Elvis quiff. I want to go big. Go big or go home.
‘It’s showbusiness baby, let’s enjoy ourselves.’
