BIG Brother winner Anthony Hutton is returning to his old hairdressing salon - to officially open it following a £25,000 facelift.

The 23-year-old from Consett, County Durham, is offering his services for free to the salon where he was on work placement as a trainee crimper.

Saks in Chester-le-Street is closing today until next Friday for the makeover.

Next Sunday, clients have been invited to a party where the disco dancer will be the guest of honour.

Since leaving the Big Brother house, Anthony has been made the Ambassador for Young People in Derwentside and agreed to switch on the Christmas lights in his home town.

The salon's owner said: "Anthony trained with us so when he won we asked if he would reopen the store.

"We hear he is being mobbed so we hope the party will introduce a lot of people to the salon."

Anthony will reopen the salon between 11.30am and 2pm.
