Sam starred on the ITV2 dating show in 2017 and ended up heading over to MTV for Geordie Shore shortly after.
He had previously dated his MTV co-star Chloe Ferry but suffered turbulent times together on the show.
Now, he has admitted that he found it almost “impossible” to grow hair on each side of his face.
Sam took to Instagram to share photos before he underwent the procedure.
He pointed out the points on his face where he found it difficult to get any hair to grow.
Sam told his fans: “Off to get my beard transplant.
“So, this is me as of now. Great middle admittedly, but the sides refuse to grow properly.”
The TV personality then returned to Instagram stories to show his followers a glimpse of the finished look.
The Geordie lad spoke to the camera with a swollen face and looked almost unrecognisable online.
He opened up about how his beard transplant went as he spoke with his face wrapped in bandages.
Sam continued: “Update featuring my very very swollen face.
“So, I look like The Mummy. I’m halfway through, I shaved the back of my head. I numbed it first, it didn’t hurt.
“They put the hair in a tub over there and injected my face, which is very numb.”
Sam also told his social media followers how his surgeons placed the hair on his cheek to try and encourage hair to grow to his heart’s desire.
He added: “You’ll see once that’s done in maybe two hours – I’ll have a full beard, exciting.”
“But to be honest with you not too much pain, I thought it would be worse.”
The former Islander is yet to reveal the finished and final result of the painful transformation.
Though he has revealed how “relieved” he was to finally be able to show off a “full beard”.
