The presenter took to TikTok to show off the results of the procedure and assured fans the swelling was “normal”.

Dean McCullough, who stood in for Breakfast Show host Greg James earlier this year, also joked that his eye has been forced closed and looks like a slit.
In a clip revealing before and after snaps, Dean said: “Day 3 of my hair transplant journey and I’m trusting the process, zero pain or major discomfort and apparently the swelling is normal.”
Dean joked he is in his “Avatar era” and his followers rushed to comment, insisting they never would have guessed it was him.
One wrote: “Omg it’s Dean! I didn’t even recognise you.”
Another said: “The fact I thought why do I know his voice until I read your name.”
Replying to one, Dean said: “My right eye is like a slit!”
Dean, who regularly appeared on Big Brother Late and Live during last year’s civilian series, recently sparked rumours he was heading into the celebrity version.
And earlier this year he was announced as the host of Radio 1’s early breakfast show.
He originally hosted a weekend show before hosting afternoons following the exit of Scott Mills
Dean said of his new gig: “I’m really excited to be taking over the reins from the amazing Arielle Free.
“The Early Breakfast crew are the best listeners at Radio 1. I’m really excited to get stuck in and wake up the nation every morning.”
