He started losing his hair after his split from childhood sweetheart Lauren Shippey in 2017 and said he considered quitting acting as a result.
Jack and Lauren have two children together. He is now dating girlfriend Hanni Treweek.
Corrie star Jack said he ended up having a hair transplant because it was affecting his mental health.
He admitted: “I decided to get it done as it was affecting my mental health. To the point where I considered giving up acting and not being in the public eye.
“I know some people will say that I am being incredibly vain having a second hair transplant so quickly after the first one.
“All I can say to that was that I needed to do it for my long-term mental wellbeing.”
