BBC Happy Valley viewers 'swoon' over villain Tommy Lee Royce's prison haircut

Happy Valley viewers have described how pleased they were to see TV villain Tommy Lee Royce get a haircut in Sunday night's tense episode. The character, played by James Norton, had his long scruffy locks and grown out beard transformed into a short back and sides with a clean shaven face.

One viewer asked "Did anyone else accidentally swoon when Tommy was having his haircut?" and another said: "Who knew that watching a fictional psychopath having a haircut could be such a sensual experience?"

Viewers revelled as they saw Tommy shirtless in his cell receiving the haircut from a fellow prisoner in return for four cans of tuna. The haircut itself was actually done by a real-life barber called Gaz from Manchester's Cutthroat Barbershop, the Guardian reports.
