LOVE Island star Harry Cooksley had a hair transplant at just 24-years-old and shared the journey to his transformation.
Semi-professional footballer Harry, who is now 30, made his Love Island debut when the show returned on Monday night.
While he’s now got a full head of hair, that wasn’t always the case for the Guildford lad – who jetted to Turkey to have the procedure.
Appearing in a YouTube video posted by the clinic he visited in Istanbul, Harry explained the process and showed off the before and after results.
He said: “It was a perfect experience for something that I really wanted to have done and I’m very glad that I found EstePera.”
The Love Island villa was left reeling last night when the first person was dumped just days into the series.
During the first recoupling, Shakira Khan picked Harry – meaning Sophie Lee was left single and immediately sent packing.
Shakira, 22, had to choose between Harry, Blu Chegini and Conor Phillips.
And fans later insisted Shakira only went with Harry so that Helena Ford – who is in a couple with Conor, 25 – wouldn’t be axed.
One fan wrote on social media: “Shakira well wanted to pick Conor but didn’t wanna send Helena home and for that I kinda respect it.
“But also she’d suit Conor well better.”
Another viewer added: “No way she picked Harry for any reason other than she wanted the other women to stay… I simply don’t believe it.”
And someone else said: “I feel like she chose based on the girls, not the guys.”
