Jimmy Carr gives first look at hair transplant on Peter Crouch's Save Our Summer

Jimmy Carr will give viewers of Peter Crouch's Save Our Summer a first look at his hair transplant tonight.

The 47-year-old will debut his new look on the BBC show this evening as he opens up about the cosmetic procedure to Maya Jama.

Jimmy jokes that he now looks like a "snooker-playing vampire" and that his hair has "socially distanced from his forehead".

Instead of his trademark black, longer locks, the comedian is now sporting a lighter coloured buzzcut.

Maya points out that it is a "very different look".

Jimmy responds: "I tell you what I did, I went and had a hair transplant. I kinda had a look of... like a snooker-playing vampire.

"So what happened was my hair was socially distancing from my forehead and I'd had enough of it."

"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 9 Out Of 10 Cats presenter previously spoke about potentially getting a hair transplant when he was on the Jonathan Ross Show last year.

"We were talking about hair transplants," he said. "I want a proper Elvis quiff. I want to go big. Go big or go home.

"It's showbusiness baby, let's enjoy ourselves."
