Veteran singer Tom Jones has revealed that he uses his beard to cover up scars from plastic surgery.

The star admitted to having a series of surgical procedures to improve his looks, including work to change his nose, teeth and and neck.

“My teeth are capped, my nose straightened, my hair dyed and I had the fat removed from under my chin. That’s why I wear the goatee, because it covers the scar," he told Wales On Sunday.

"Thank God I went to the right plastic surgeon who told me to be careful not to have too much done."
