I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers were left double taking tonight as Ant McPartlin showed off his new tattoos.
The ITV reality show has returned to Australia for the first time in two years, with Ant and best pal Declan Donnelly at the frontline guiding celebrities through the gruesome trials. So far, viewers have been introduced to Boy George, Sue Cleaver, Owen Warner, Scarlette Douglas, Mike Tindall, Charlene White, Chris Moyles, Jill Scott, Babatúndé Aléshé and Olivia Attwood, as Tory MP Matt Hancock will join at a later date.
Many viewers couldn't help but notice that Ant was sporting a slightly different look as he unveiled his new ink on his inner forearm. The tattoo is a copy of the floor mosaic in the Strawberry Fields area of New York’s Central Park.
The mosaic was laid in tribute to John Lennon. The mosaic – and Ant’s tattoo, which he also had when he filmed an advert for the ITV show earlier this year – features the word Imagine encircled by an intricate spiral mosaic circle.
It also has a hidden meaning, with the inking evoking a vision of hope for a world without strife, war, conflict and materialism. Eagle eyed fans also spotted other new inkings on the presenter in the past while he has been filming for the ITV show. He displayed an arrow tattoo on his right outer forearm and a rose on his left during filming of the 2019 series.
Ant also has the Alcoholics Anonymous symbol inked on his left wrist. He also has a tribute to his wife Anne-Marie on his chest, which features a heart with a circle and the letter A.
Viewers took to social media after noticing the presenters new body art. One user wrote: "When did ant get tattoos #ImACeleb "
Another penned: "Has ant always had those s**** tattoos ? #ImACeleb " A third said: "Has Ant from Ant and Dec got a whole new makeover. New tattoos, expensive hublot watch and snazzy shirt or maybe a mid life crisis #ImACeleb "
"why am i so weirded out at ant having a load of shit tattoos? #imaceleb," another wrote. A fifth tweeted: "Are we all going trying to work out if Ant has always had tattoos? #imaceleb "
