The TV host Phillip, 58 faced a similarly trying situation. He decided to share his concern with his fans live on his Instagram with his 3 million fans. He filmed a live video from the bathroom of his house. And he said that his main worry was how to cut his hair during the current coronavirus lockdown. In the short video clip, Phillip appeared quite nervous. As he examined his hair in the mirror, Phillip said:

“You see, the thing is, this was bound to happen at some stage and I was going to have to do something about this.

“And it’s been worrying me for some time, however…”

After this, Phillip paused for some time as he cut his hair close to his ear with the help of an electric blade. As the cut hair strands fell to the floor, there was an exclamation:

“Oh my good gracious,”

Phillip added:

“I am going to make such a pig’s ear of this!

“It’s only a brief live because I need both hands and I need to concentrate, but I just thought I’d let you know what was happening in my afternoon.

“Because I’m beginning to look a little dishevelled.”

The response of Phillip’s fans

As he was shooting the video live, his fan James asked him to shave all off. Phillip read:

“‘Shave it all off,’ says James. What the whole lot?
