EASTENDERS heart-throb Michael Greco has complained he now looks like Harry Hill after losing his hair.

The actor, known to soap-watchers as Beppe DiMarco, appeared on Instagram with little hair and a pair of thick-rimmed glasses.

He caught a glimpse of himself on the camera gasping: "Oh my God I look like Harry Hill."

The star then wiggled his glasses, went "eeee" in a high-pitched voice and slapped his palm down repeatedly on his head.

He looked a world away from gravel-voiced loverman Beppe, who slept his way around Albert Square before his departure in 2002.

Michael, who is still in sensational shape at 49, is now a big name on the professional poker circuit, yesterday boasting that he had "cleaned up" as he posed by a casino table.
