Hair transplant on the way

The 28-year-old appeared unrecognisable in photos shared on Instagram this week after shaving his head before receiving a hair transplant. Mailonline claimed that the former Love Island contestant had been thinking about undergoing the procedure for a while after he became conscious of male pattern baldness.

In his Instagram caption, he wrote:

I’ve been conscious of my hairline for a while, finally took the plunge and went for it.
I honestly can’t thank @now.hairtime enough. They made the process so much easier than I could have imagined. Can’t wait to see the results!

He smiled and pointed to his head as he posed for an Instagram photo at Now Hair Time in Turkey. In the photo, he was seen gazing into the mirror after lines were placed on his head to indicate his previous hairline beneath the new one that would grow following the transplant.

Connor's history

Connor was booted out of the show on day 15, however, the star still managed to form a connection that lasted for a few months even after his eviction. Reportedly, he coupled up with Rochelle Humes' sister Sophie Piper but their romance ‘fizzled out.’ A source claimed:

Things just fizzled out. They never even went official.

It just didn’t have a chance to get started because of lockdown and they both agreed it was better to just stay friends.
