'My face is like Trigger's broom...' Jimmy Carr reveals all his cosmetic procedures
Jimmy Carr has revealed all of his cosmetic procedures, admitting so little of his face is still the original it is more like "Trigger's broom".
Jimmy Carr has spilled that "very little" of his original face is still there after undergoing a host of cosmetic procedures.
The 53-year-old comedian has listed all the surgical improvements he has made to his appearance, which include filler, Botox, veneer teeth and a hair transplant.
Carr quipped that there is so little of his original self left his "face is like Trigger's broom", referencing the famous Only Fools and Horses scene where road sweeper Trigger - played by the late Roger Lloyd Pack - tells Del Boy, Rodney and Boycie in the café how he has been awarded a medal for "saving the council money" for "having the same broom for the last 20 years".
Trigger then says he has taken heed of the road sweepers' motto "look after your broom", revealing "this old broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time".
Appearing on Virgin Radio UK, Carr said: "My face is like Trigger's broom. Very little of the original is still there.
"I've had a little bit of work done. I mean, I'm not Katherine Ryan. I knew Katherine when she was a small Korean boy. It's all changed.
"I've had a little bit done, like a little bit of filler here and there, a little bit of Botox, a little bit. I had a hair transplant. That was kind of fun to do."
The 8 Out of 10 Cats host says the hair transplant is often confusing for people because they think you have taken locks from another person to regain your hair.
He added: "The problem with a hair transplant is people think there's a donor. People think I was ghoulishly waiting by the phone for news of a motorcycle accident so I could nick a quiff off a corpse.
"It's not. What they do is quite socialist really. They take the hair from where it's plentiful. We've got loads of hair kind of round the back there.
"They pluck it out and then they replant it wherever you want. So they replant it up the top there for me.'
"The downside is, you know that sensation you get where the hairs on the back of your neck stand up? Well now when I get that, I look like Tintin."
