Alan Titchmarsh vows never to have a hair transplant despite ‘thinning’ look

Despite fears that his floppy mop of hair might be “thinning”, Alan Titchmarsh has sworn off ever going under the knife for a hair transplant.

“No way,” he declares. “I’m a man of the soil. Love me, love my hair – or lack thereof.”

The green-fingered TV presenter doesn’t seem to be losing much of his own foliage on top.

Last year, though, his wife Alison informed him his barnet was “thinning a bit”, which he admits was “worrying” – but not worrying enough to make him consider surgery.

“I’m a great believer in nature,” he says. “I’ll let it take its course.”

In recent years, the procedures have become commonplace in the land of celebrity, with comic Jimmy Carr having one after he said his hairline became “socially distanced from his forehead”. I’m A Celeb’s Joe Swash has had three, and footballer Wayne Rooney has said he is “delighted” with his.

Spring into Summer’s Alan, 71, recounts that some critics became “obsessed” with the idea that he dyed his hair.

“They thought I must dye it. I never, ever dyed my hair,” he insists. “Then I hit 65 and it started instantly going a bit grey. I never touched it. Now they see!”

But Alan has credited his hair with keeping him on TV.

“If you look at all the oldies on the box – Paxman, Attenborough, Palin – they’ve all got hair,” he said.

Hair to stay.
