Antony Cotton Hair Transplant: Has The 'Coronation Street' Star Gone Under The Knife?

Has Antony Cotton 'Done A Rooney'?

Coronation Street's Antony Cotton looks to have been getting his hair done somewhere other than Audrey's Salon - the star appears to have undergone a hair transplant.

He was sporting a suspiciously thicker thatch as he attended the 2013 TRIC Awards at the Grosvenor House on London's Park Lane on Tuesday.

Antony raised suspicions that he may have been the latest celebrity to undergo the procedure, which has been favoured by the likes of Louis Walsh and Wayne Rooney.

As he showed off his new do, the Sean Tully actor was joined by the likes of Helen Flanagan and Laura Whitmore at the annual telly bash.

John Travolta
The list of things that John Travolta isn't admitting to seems to grow longer by the day.We don't give a fig about his sexuality, but we do find it rather surprising that he won't 'fess up to having had a bit of a helping hand with his hair - because for years he's been regarded as having the least-convincing hairline in Hollywood. If only they were making Lego: The Movie he'd be a dead cert for the lead role. (credit: PA)

Bono
The U2 frontman was clearly thinning by the late '80s, but throughout the '90s and '00s his hair seemed to move in Mysterious Ways - increasing in density as it decreased in length.He obviously takes Pride (in the name of) his hair though, so we'll draw a (hair) line under the matter right here.

First we want to make it clear that the density of Dec's hair is something we'd never even considered until it was brought to our attention.But once we were made aware of an alleged increase in bushiness, we had to admit that something fishy did appear to be going on.Now we're not saying he's definitely had a transplant (and he's certainly keeping mum), but have a look at these pics and see what you reckon.

Sir Elton John
The artist formerly known as Reg Dwight started to lose his hair way back in the 1970s, and was one of the first celebs to undergo a hair transplant.The change was so dramatic - and he was so mega-famous back then - that he had to be honest about having had it done.We don't know how much work he's had done up there since, but he's got more hair than Marge Simpson these days.

Has he or hasn't he? That is the question when it comes to the talented Mr Law. Jude is famous for his sneaky mini-combover, as shown in the right hand picture - but there have been persistent rumours that he's also had a transplant.He's never spoken out about it, and definitive evidence is hard to come by - so for now it will have to remain a mystery, my dear Watson.

He might still be best known to many of us for his role in Cold Feet, but it was obviously James Nesbitt's head that was getting a bit chilly.The actor has been upfront about having undergone two hair transplant procedures - and says the results have changed his life.Will we see the suave Northern Irishman becoming the latest Brit to make it big across the pond thanks to his new thatch?

Comedian Rob Brydon is another famous face who appears to have had a bit of re-thatching carried out on his rooftop.The Welshman hasn't explicitly confirmed that he's had a transplant, but did say: "For some time now my head has been feeling a lot warmer but I was unable to put my finger on the reason why." He might not be able to, but it looks like one of his co-stars isn't having any problems doing so in the right-hand photo here. (credit: PA)

Boyzone star Ronan Keating was also an enthusiastic mini-combover man back in the 1990s, but sometime in the early noughties his hairline seemed to move forward a little.The change may be hardly noticeable, but that's how it should be when it's done right. We take our hats off to one of the best barnets in the business! (credit: PA)

The man who used to play Barry Evans in EastEnders has never even tried to pretend that his hair grew back overnight - which is just as well because nobody would have believed him. He even told Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant about the op, so they could use it to mock him when he appeared in Extras (although the gags got cut). (credit: PA)
