I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! finalist Owen Warner has joked he "doesn’t want to go down the route of Hollywood celebrities like Vin Diesel or Dwayne The Rock Johnson" after visiting the British Hair Clinic.
The 23-year-old became a fans' favourite on the popular ITV reality show when he came runner-up behind England Lioness Jill Scott as I'm A Celeb returned to the New South Wales jungle for the first time in three years due to coronavirus.
The Hollyoaks actor, who portrays Romeo Nightingale in the Channel 4 soap opera, travelled to the hair clinic in Hale, Manchester after worrying about his 'receding' hairline despite still having a full head of thick brown hair.
Speaking in a video posted on British Hair Clinic's Instagram page, which has more than 12,400 followers, Owen said: "Hair transplant is a big process to go through and I thought why not prevent it for as long as I can, make my head healthy, thick hair on the top of my head, just prevention really.
"It's like stopping something before it could possibly go a certain way."
He added that he "doesn’t want to go down the route of Hollywood celebrities like Vin Diesel or Dwayne The Rock Johnson who are completely bald, it suits them but not sure it would work for me!"
Owen underwent Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections which can effectively prevent hair loss and promote new hair growth.
He joins a host of celebrities who have used British Hair Clinic to manage their hair issues. Former England rugby union captain Dylan Hartley, boxer Conor Benn and reality TV stars such as Towie's Kirk Norcross have all had treatment done at the clinic including hair transplants.
Owen's ex-girlfriend and former Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis underwent a female hair transplant at the British Hair Clinic.
He continued: "I need to keep the hair thinning on hold. I’m young and as an actor who plays certain roles so I need to maintain a youthful appearance.
"I’m conscious about my hair just as I am about my general health, better to be healthy and have a good head of hair than to be unhealthy and bald, especially if health and hair can be maintained.
"It’s important to be proactive as an actor and not let your appearance deteriorate as essentially our talent and looks help us get the roles we need."
