Ant McPartlin’s promise to get a fan-made tattoo came back to haunt him on the latest episode of his podcast, when he finally had to receive the ink with the help of his friend Declan Donnelly.
The presenting duo had previously invited listeners to create a design that Ant could have tattooed on his arm.
In the latest episode of their podcast, Ant revealed he had hired a tattoo artist to come to his home so he could get the inking done, but he insisted Dec wouldn’t help him with the design.
But Dec then revealed that he had successfully sneaked into Ant’s house without his knowledge and would therefore be allowed to contribute to the creation of the tattoo.
After receiving many entries, Ant and Dec said they had chosen a tattoo that paid tribute to their Newcastle roots, featuring the iconic Angel Of The North statue.
Ant picked up the needle and screamed in horror as Dec added his own extra detail to the design, before they unveiled the finished product on the show.

In the latest episode of their podcast, Ant revealed that he hired a tattoo artist to come to his home so he could get the inking done, and then shared the finished product on the show.
Dec admitted on the podcast that Ant was lucky the process went smoothly, saying: ‘It’s probably a good time to admit I was wearing my wrong glasses!
‘I certainly made my mark!’
Ant then revealed the final design, with the angel statue surrounded by a star, and a small addition of Dec’s initials.
He said to his friend, “By the way, your piece was the most painful!”
Ant then confessed that when he and Dec celebrate the one-year anniversary of their podcast, they might opt for a more relaxed celebration, such as a “lovely facial.”
Last month, Ant celebrated his five-year anniversary with wife Anne-Marie when he shared a new wedding photo on Instagram.
The TV presenter, 50, and his wife, 47, were all smiles in the retro black and white photo as they celebrated their special day at Heckfield Place in Hampshire.
Ant cut a dapper figure in a tuxedo as he took the sweet selfie, while Anne-Marie beamed from behind in her stunning £15,000 custom floor-length dress by designer Suzanne Neville.
Alongside the photo, Ant wrote: ‘Happy 5 years of marriage @mrsanthonymcpartlin. I’d do it all again tomorrow.’
Ant was previously married to Lisa Armstrong, whom he divorced in 2020. The couple was together for more than twenty years and married for eleven years.
He then married Anne-Marie in August 2021, in a lavish wedding that reportedly cost a whopping £500,000, with Dec as best man.
The couple have since welcomed their son Wilder, two, and are parents to teenage daughters Poppy and Daisy from Anne-Marie’s previous marriage to Scott Corbett.
