“In lockdown 3 I grew my first ever moustache. I don’t have eyebrows so it looks a bit weird,” he said.
Why does Matt have no hair?
During a recent appearance on Loose Women, Matt told viewers why he can’t grow any hair.
He said that he had been involved in a car accident in Portugal aged four.
From then on, the trauma of the accident might have had caused him to suffer from alopecia – a condition that causes permanent hair loss.
He also described the moment the alopecia first started to kick in.
Matt said he woke up one morning and found a few strands of hair on his pillow and that his hair steadily fell out over the course of several months.
How did fans react to Matt’s moustache?
Fans quickly responded to the new appendage.
Former Bake Off winner, Rahul Mandal, said: “You are looking very handsome!!”
Stacey Dooley, meanwhile, responded with a hearts-for-eyes emoji.
