FORMER Sky Sports host Richard Keys has shown off his incredible transformation thanks to a HAIR TRANSPLANT.

And it will suit his self-proclaimed moniker of the 'once-hairiest man on TV'.

The British Hair Clinic in Essex uploaded a clip of the now-BeIN presenter showing off his locks on TikTok.

Pointing at his re-growth, Keys, who married his daughter's best friend after leaving his wife for her, says: "The once-hairiest man on TV has done a little bit today to restore his reputation.

 "I'm laughing because I've heard the joke.

"What an irony that someone who spent his lifetime trying to remove hair finds himself in the British Hair Clinic looking for them to add hair. I mean, you couldn't make it up really.

"But here we are, at the direction of Jason McAteer, who's been through this process and looks well for it - at least that's what he told me - and Sam Matterface, a very good friend of mine.

"Sam, I spoke to this morning, and he said: "Brilliant, easy, you'll love it."

Later in the clip Keys, who was sacked by Sky Sports for his part in a sexism storm, admires a pen-drawn hairline guide, saying: "So that's the new hairline.

"That's where the new hairline will be."

In 2012 rumours did the rounds that Keys had his hands lasered or waxed after being dubbed 'werewolf' by eagle-eyed fans.

A source told at the time: "Richard is incredibly touchy about his body hair and has put up with years of stick about it.

"Richard won't divulge whether it was his idea or Sky's to get his hands done."

Keys was sacked in disgrace from his £500,000-a-year job fronting Sky’s Premier League coverage in 2011 after making disparaging remarks about female referee Sian Massey-Ellis.

He is now the face of the BeIN Sports channels which broadcast all 365 Premier League games per season mainly on its flagship "Super Saturday" programme.

The clinic added: "Richard came in to our Essex clinic back in July and his new hair line is starting to take shape.

"We will keep you updated on the progression."
