Hilary Barry ruins the hair of Radio Hauraki presenter Jeremy Wells in Seven Sharp with ‘remote social haircut’

It seems that Hilary Barry would not have a successful backup career as a hairdresser.

Last night at Seven Sharp, the TV presenter “kindly” offered to give his co-presenter, Radio Hauraki breakfast presenter Jeremy Wells, a haircut as his favorite hairdresser is still closed at Level 3.

“Let’s just say it didn’t go as well as I expected,” he admitted.

“No, it wasn’t like that,” Wells confirmed.

Due to social distancing restrictions, Barry attempted to cut his hair with scissors attached to a 2m pole, and accidentally cut a large piece of his hair, leaving a bald rectangle.

“My heart was in the right place, I’m very, very sorry,” Barry said.

“You could only describe that as a disaster, also a hit and run, it’s a crime,” Wells said.
