Health secretary Matt Hancock appeared on This Morning on Thursday to discuss the ongoing changes to lockdown rules and show off the results of his at-home hair cut.
Ruth Langsford couldn’t help but ask about when hair salons will re-open, while Matt put a hand to his head and gave his own hair a ruffle.
She commented that Matt’s hair was “looking alright, actually” and wondered who had been giving his locks a trim.
He told Ruth and husband Eamonn Holmes: “My wife cut it. I think she did a fantastic job.”
Matt went on: ” I was actually inspired by watching Phillip [Schofield] having his cut on video the last time I was on this programme.”

Regular host Phillip revealed his wife Steph Lowe had given him a home hair cut too a few weeks ago.
The silver fox turned up to host the show with a shorter trim, with co-star Holly Willoughby mentioning “how very well groomed” he was.
He shared a video and photos of the daring DIY snip on the show, which clearly gave Matt the idea of doing it too.

Phil said: “Those scissors were quite blunt as well – I’ve bought [Steph] some professional ones now because this is quite obviously going to save a fortune not – but yeah, she’s done it.”
He had some help though, as he consulted with his normal hairdresser via FaceTime.
Phil explained: “I thought when Dominic Raab said it could be July 4 at the earliest [when salons would re-open]… I was doing it as a joke to start with.”
Meanwhile, Ruth herself confirmed she had been sticking to social distancing rules and not having any illicit trips to her hairstylist this week.
She shared a photo of husband Eamonn sprucing her hair up into her trademark ‘do.
Though it’s clear from her chat with Matt Hancock, she’s excited to get back in the salon.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
