Sunday Brunch host Tim Lovejoy unveils unrecognisable dreadlock hair style
Sunday Brunch host Tim Lovejoy is known for his clean-shaved look but the presenter once stunned viewers after revealing that wasn't always the case.
Sunday Brunch host Tim Lovejoy once left viewers gobsmacked when he revealed that he used to sport a full head of dreadlocks, a far cry from his current clean-cut image.
The revelation came during an episode of the Channel 4 show in 2017, where Tim even shared a throwback photo showcasing his abundant dreadlocks.
Hair became the hot topic while Tim was conversing with that day's guest, Louisa Johnson, who won the X Factor in 2015. It was then that Tim dropped the bombshell about his past hairdo.
"I did used to have dreadlocks," he admitted. The confession drew a surprised response from fashion expert Gok Wan, who couldn't contain his disbelief: "Did you really? Shut up!"
Despite Gok's playful command for silence, Tim promised to dig out a photograph to prove his former look, as reported by the Mirror.
Gok was visibly taken aback and delighted when he saw the old picture of Tim's dreadlocks on display.
He commented: "I love it! Honestly! I really like it. I love it. You've got a good bone structure for it. We need to get you a wig. We need to get you a weave!"
Tim jokingly agreed with Gok's excitement, quipping: "When I have my showbiz hair transplant I'll get it done again."
Previously, Tim has been candid about his thinning hair and even went bald to support Macmillan's Brave The Shave campaign, which encourages people to shave their heads to raise funds.
During a candid chat with Lloyd Griffith last year, Tim opened up about his attempts to make his hair appear fuller.
He admitted: "I saw someone use it in makeup one time, I started using that powder, the powder to just thicken it up a bit. But then it's like 'What am I doing?'"
The presenter has been quite forthcoming about discussing his hair thinning over time.
A viewer once questioned on X: "Tim, when did you start losing your hair? My son is 21 and distraught as he is losing fast. Did you investigate any of the procedures available? I feel for him as it's denting his confidence."
To which Tim responded empathetically, "Whether we like it or not, it's tough. The problem with procedures is that once you're in, you have to keep going. This is why I didn't go through with the transplant. The only real advice is to go short and own it. It took me a while."
