I'm A Celebrity host Ant McPartlin's tattoos and the poignant meanings behind them

Ant McPartlin unveiled his latest tattoo, a bold tribute to Beatles legend John Lennon, in November while down under for I'm A Celebrity.

The TV presenter, who is currently hosting the all stars edition, posed proudly for a picture with co-host Dec Donnelly, with the large inking on display on his arm.

The Tattoo is a replica of the John Lennon black and white floor mural in New York, with the word Imagine, in the centre of the design.

This is not Ant's first tattoo, as he also has a large rose design on his left forearm, and an arrow on his right one, which he debuted in 2019.

Ant previously said the arrow has a "personal meaning, but it's very positive".

In 2018, Ant was seen with a new inking on his left wrist, and the while the TV presenter hasn't confirmed what it means, the design resembles the Alcohol Anonymous symbol, a triangle in a circle.

In 2017, Ant went to rebab to battle his demons, and soon after he was seen with the new tattoo.

The star also has S&H inked on his wrist, and three stars near his left wrist.

Meanwhile, in I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, Paul Burrell has revealed the lengths he went to in order to run a bath for the late Queen Elizabeth.

The former footman to the late Monarch served Her Majesty for ten years and has now disclosed what happened at bathtime, leaving Janice Dickinson blown away.

During a conversation in the South African camp, Countdown star Carol Vorderman joked that she needed a butler before Paul interrupted to explain he was on hand.

Paul revealed that the Queen never ran a bath herself and had never been required to "put the plug in", while he prepared several towels for the matriach of the House of Windsor.

Peaking out from her sleeping bag, supermodel Janice Dickinson asked: "Did you have to like... Give the Queen a bath?"

"She did that herself," Paul explained, before adding: "You have to set the towels out in a special way and royals never run their baths, they're run for them."

He added: "So they never have to put the plug in."

Janice, 68, couldn't believe what she was hearing as she rushed to the Bush Telegraph to share: "Paul the butler from the royal house has the best stories on Earth.

"So I kind of ask him little questions here and there and he goes on and on and I'm like 'Ah, yes, yes!'"

Paul worked for the Royal Household at the age of 18, becoming a footman in Buckingham Palace.

Just one year later, he was made the personal footman to Queen Elizabeth, working alongside the Monarch on her day-to-day business in a private capacity.

However, in 1987, Paul left Buckingham Palace and joined the household of the then Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales at their country home, Highgrove.
