Matthew, who had had to shave his eyebrows, chest and hair completely bald for the role has revealed that he did worry his eyebrow hair would never grow back. Speaking to Good Morning Britain presenters, the actor revealed: "I'd heard horror stories from people who'd had their eyebrows shaved off in drunken stupors at university and they'd never grown back.

"After five months of shaving them I was a bit worried they wouldn’t but they seem to be coming through. If not, I'll just get tattooed on it'll be fine."

He also confessed that although his real life fiancé Charlotte Webb (who plays Emmerdale's Debbie Dingle) wasn't "too keen" on his look without eyebrows, their son Buster loved his bald head.

Cute!

Now that David has been cleared of cancer he is set to marry Tracey, but things aren't looking great as Tracey is running late after being kidnapped by her dad. To make things worse Tracey accidentally knocks the cars handbrake before getting out of the car and when the car begins to roll into the water, it's not looking great for Tracey…
