Matt Willis gets huge tattoo of wife Emma but fans point out problem

Matt Willis decided to mark his and wife Emma’s 16th wedding anniversary by getting a huge inking of her likeness, but the results have raised a few eyebrows.

The Busted musician, 41, and former Big Brother presenter, 48, tied the knot in July 2008 and share three children together.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, he shared a video clip featuring his new tattoo along with a tribute to Emma on their special day.

The hard-to-miss body art spans the Year 3000 hit-maker’s entire calf, with a black ink background. It includes most of his TV presenter spouse’s body with her face and skin shaded in grey.

She is wearing a black dress.

“Happy Anniversary @emmawillisofficial … I love you more than ever,” his caption began. “16 years and it keeps getting better.”

He then went on to thank the tattoo artist responsible for bringing his vision to life, adding: “Thanks @tomftattoo for your amazing work and fitting me in just in time for today.”

The post was sound-tracked to Stevie Wonder’s classic love song, Isn’t She Lovely.

While many flocked to send their best wishes to the couple, not everyone was impressed by his grand gesture.

“Happy anniversary, but who is the woman? Not Emma surely,” one person commented on the post.

“Lovely idea but doesn’t look anything like her?” agreed another.

“Happy anniversary, nice tattoo although it looks more like Miley Cyrus! Guessing Emma is a big fan of hers!” remarked a third.

A forth countered: “It’s Adele”.

Others put forward Angelina Jolie and Eva Longoria as other potential subjects the tattoo could be.

Not everyone hated it however.

“Happy anniversary to the best couple,” wrote one person, followed by heart-eye emojis. They added: “What a tattoo.”

“Wow, that tattoo is amazing! Congratulations to you both,” enthused another.
