A Tory MP has sparked a different type of political debate \u2013 surrounding his hair. Michael Fabricant’s shaggy blonde locks have drawn the attention of people across the world, who pose the very same question: is it real? <\/em><\/p>\n

Americans have even quizzed whether his trademark hairstyle is the norm for Brits or whether he dons the locks as a nod to Boris Johnson. <\/p>\n

As hilarious as that would have been, that’s not the case. <\/p>\n

Fabricant has continuously denied sporting a wig, telling<\/a>The Daily Mirror<\/em> in 2014 that “there is some \u2014 but only some \u2014 enhancement of the follicular area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conservative later defended his hair in 2019 when he hit back at a colleague who was caught pointing out his hair during PMQs. Fabricant told<\/a> the BBC: “Huw is pretty short-sighted, he’s a relatively new member of Parliament – bless – he didn’t know that PMQs is actually televised.<\/p>\n

“And I’m sure if he did, he would have behaved in a more grown-up way.”<\/p>\n

He also reiterated “my hair is me” during his appearance on Celebrity First Dates<\/em> when a woman asked him to “get rid of [the wig]”.<\/p>\n

The 71-year-old British politician has served as the MP for Lichfield in Staffordshire for almost 30 years. He often keeps his personal life away from the media. However, in a rare 2021 interview on <\/strong>GB News, Fabricant opened up about his sexuality and previous use of cannabis.<\/p>\n

He told former Labour MP Gloria De Piero that he “smoked the odd spliff” during university and while he was in New York, adding that ” gin and tonic has the same effect on me.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve never gone in for the chemicals,” he explained. “Cocaine is not my particular thing, but I do remember when I first became an MP, the whips all thought I was so lively that, apparently, they thought I was on drugs.<\/p>\n

“They were so pompous and refined at the time. I’m going to assure viewers that I’m not on drugs.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about his sexuality, Fabricant said, “people do assume that I’m gay.”<\/p>\n

“‘I’m not gay – I’m bisexual if you’ve got to define these things,” he clarified, adding: “Sexually, I was far more active with women than I ever have been with blokes, if I’m honest, but I won’t go into detail.”<\/p>\n
