Lorraine Kelly shocks fans as she reveals ‘tattoo tribute’ to I’m A Celeb’s Tulisa – admitting ‘it was painful but worth it’

Lorraine Kelly shocked fans during Wednesday’s episode as she revealed her ‘tattoo tribute’ to I’m A Celeb’s Tulisa Contostavlos. 

The ITV presenter, 64, joked ‘it was painful but worth it’ as she showed off her ‘Female Boss’ artwork. 

Tulisa is known for her iconic tattoo and the signature arm gesture which she does to show it off. 

While discussing Prince Harry‘s comedy sketch in which he appears to be given a tattoo by American musician Jelly Roll, Lorraine showed off her own fake ink. 

Cutting back to the host in the studio, she said: ‘I obviously got one this morning too, it was a bit painful but worth it.’

Tulisa hit the headlines back in 2011 when the then X Factor judge was accused of illegally promoting her perfume of the same name when she struck a pose to display her forearm at the start of the show. 

And Sunday was no different when she showed of her iconic ‘Female Boss’ tattoo just minutes into I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

In the opening credits at the start of the show, glamorous Tulisa proudly stuck her arm up. 

Fans were quick to pick up on her signature arm gesture and flooded X with comments.

Some wrote: ”NAH TULISA DOING HER POSE LOL #imacelebrity’, ‘Obsessed with Tulisas iconic “female boss” pose #imacelebrity’, ‘The gasp I let out seeing Tulisa do her signature arm gesture during the opening credits #ImACeleb’, 

‘Tulisa bringing back the female boss. only the 2011 real ones know #ImACeleb’, ‘Good to see Tulisa is still rocking the female boss stance #imacelebrity’.

In 2011, the singer said she’d been showing off the inking long before she joined ITV series and would continue to long afterwards.

She told The Mirror at the time: ‘It’s always been my trademark and it’s always been my nickname.’

Tulisa added: ‘The perfume’s not actually called The Female Boss – it’s just TFB. So someone wouldn’t go into a shop and buy my perfume just because they’d seen my tattoo.   

Lorraine’s ‘tattoo’ comes after Prince Harry appeared to be given a tattoo by American musician Jelly Roll, as part of the build-up to the Invictus Games in Canada. 

In the footage, filmed at New York tattoo parlour East Side Ink, the Duke of Sussex, 40, squealed as he got a fake inking during the skit.

Thought to have been produced in September, the light-hearted clip begins with Prince Harry being joined by country superstar Jelly Roll at the tattoo parlour. 

An excited Jelly Roll tells the Duke: ‘Do you know I could not believe it when they called me and told me Prince Harry wanted to get a tattoo today, and he wanted me to give him his first tattoo?’

But a shocked Harry is quick to reply: ‘No, no, no, why are you wearing a glove?’, to which the singing star says: ‘We’re giving you a tattoo about the Invictus Games.’

‘No, I came here to ask you to do the Invictus Games,’ explains a surprised Harry. ‘There’s no tattoo in this. I can’t get a tattoo.’

In the clip Jelly Roll tells the Duke: ‘Do you know I could not believe it when they called me and told me Prince Harry wanted me to give him his first tattoo?’

But Jelly Roll is quick to come to a deal, saying: ‘I’ll play the Invictus Games. You just let me give you your first tattoo.’ Eventually Harry is convinced and replies: ‘Alright, screw it. Let’s go! Let’s do it. Where do you want it?’

‘We got to go for the neck,’ insists the singer in the amusing clip. But the royal suggests: ‘The neck? I was thinking like my lower back or my a***.’ 

‘No, nobody wants to see your a***, Harry,’ Jelly Roll is quick to fire back, adding: ‘This is for the world. I’m thinking like, here, let me just show you.’

The singer then ‘tattoos’ the Invictus Games logo onto the prince, as well his own name, to which a shocked Harry says: ‘You put your name on my neck… are you serious? Oh s***.’ 

Jelly Roll has been confirmed as the first headliner for the closing ceremony of next year’s sporting tournament, which takes place between 8 and 16 February.
