“Julian Simmons warned me about me doing it myself,” he posted on social media
BBC Radio Ulster star Stephen Nolan has unveiled a dramatic new look after dyeing his hair, and he’s shown it off in a festive snap alongside his mum on Christmas Day.
The broadcaster shared a photograph on Facebook with his mother, affectionately known as ‘Big Audrey’, revealing the fresh colour just days after documenting the transformation at the salon.
Posting ahead of the big reveal, Nolan had joked about the process in a characteristically self-deprecating update, writing: “After that mad chat on Nolan radio, here’s the next farce in my life.
“Getting a wee tint in my hair.
“Julian Simmons warned me about me doing it myself – he says I’m incapable. So here goes …..”
The new hairstyle comes amid a period of major personal change for the presenter, who has also spoken openly about significant weight loss.
Earlier this month, Nolan revealed he has started using weight loss injections, alongside intense gym training, sharing candid details with his followers.
He wrote: “Over a year ago, I was 23st3lbs. I’m 16st today, but at gym training as my target is in the 15’s by this Tuesday.
“Started fat jabs 4 weeks ago. 2 stone off with intense training.
“Always consult your dr first. There are side affects. [sic]”
The presenter’s openness about his health journey has prompted plenty of reaction online, with supporters praising his honesty and determination, while others welcomed the lighter, festive post marking Christmas Day.
