A North East man who had Phillip Schofield's portrait tattooed on him bum cheek says that he has 'no regrets' over his permanent artwork. The dad, Matty O'Hagan soon became the butt of his friends' jokes after Schofield's recent departure from This Morning - cutting ties with ITV completely - but he has no plans for a cover up.

Matty, from Stockton-on-Tees, said: "I don't have any regrets about getting the [Schofield] tattoo.

At the time, Bell admitted that it was: "By far the strangest request," he'd ever had.
