Former England football star Paul Merson visits Derbyshire salon
Former footballer and manager Paul Merson stopped by at a hair and beauty salon in Alfreton on his visit to congratulate finalists at Slimming World’s Man of the Year competition.
Paul Merson, who played for Arsenal, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough as well as raking up 21 caps for England over his career, visited Hair & Beauty at Slimming World this weekend while attending the organisation’s annual competition.
The 2025 event celebrated the incredible weight losses of 41 inspirational men from across the UK and Ireland who have lost more than 330st between them thanks to the support of their local Slimming World groups.
During his visit, Paul was shown the salon’s welcoming and modern facilities and even picked up a goody bag.
He says: “The set up here is amazing. It was an absolute pleasure to have been welcomed to Hair & Beauty at Slimming World while I’ve been visiting the head office. The whole day has been incredible, the atmosphere here is so uplifting. Meeting the finalists and hearing about their weight loss transformations has been really inspiring.”
