Hair today: The previously bald Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner revealed the results of his £12,000 hair transplant live on the show's grand final tonight


It's a secret he'd literally been keeping under his hat - but tonight Dancing On Ice's acid-tongued judge Jason Gardiner unveiled his new hair transplant live during the grand final.

The 39-year-old Australian was so bowled over by children's TV presenter Laura Hamilton's performance on the rink that he doffed his trilby to her - and revealed the layer of dark brown growth on his previously shiny pate.

Jason flashed the fuzz after Laura and partner Colin Ratushniak landed straight 10s from all three judges for their routine to the Pointer Sisters' I'm So Excited.


Hats off: The judge decided to literally take his hat off in salute to Laura Hamilton's perfect 10s after her routine in the grand final to The Pointer Sisters I'm So Excited

As he shocked the crowd with his unveiling, he said: 'Laura I have to say I take my hat off to you - incredible! You have just proven why you are in this competition. You just took it to another level.'


Before: Jason, pictured here in January, had an almost entirely bald head before undergoing his hair transplant


Surprised co-host Holly Willoughby gasped afterwards: 'I'm almost sepeechless about what was under the hat!'

It's understood Jason spent £12,000 on the procedure where follicles are taken from the back of the head on embedded into the crown.

It had been rumoured before the final that the judge would be unveiling his thatch on the show, but that was denied by host Phillip Schofield at the start.


Hair we go: Jason Gardiner was so impressed with Laura that he revealed his new hair transplant in her honour - but the public voted for Sam


The remaining two couples, Sam Attwater and Brianne Delcourt and Laura and Colin were then left to battle it out and skate the routine made famous by the show's chief coaches, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean - the legendary Bolero.

Judges votes no longer counted - and it was solely down to the public to decided who would be the Dancing On Ice 2011 champion - and they decided on Sam, despite Laura's perfect 10s.
