Ant McPartlin baffles I’m A Celeb fans with new arm tattoos as he shows off ink from show hiatus

ANT McPartlin has stunned I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! fans by debuting several new tattoos on his arms.

Telly presenter Ant, 43, showed off his inking in a short sleeved shirt as he addressed this year’s camp mates in the launch show.

Standing alongside co-host Declan Donnelly, Ant folded his arms and gave viewers a good glimpse at his body art.

But the tattoos, which appear to be of an arrow and a rose, have left fans of the show baffled.

One viewer tweeted: “Did Ant always have tattoos. #ImACeleb.”

Another added: “Looks like Ant has had a year off and spent it in tattoo studio #ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere #ImACeleb #newtatt.”

A third wrote: “Is it me or has ant always had tattoos???? Baffled #ImACeleb.”

Ant has tonight made his big comeback after missing last year’s series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!.

And staying true to form, he and best pal Dec began rolling out the banter from the offset.

But within minutes off the show starting, the cheeky duo were forced to apologise to telly star Andi Peters after mocking him in a skit.

After the first VT showed five of the celebrities meeting on a luxury yacht including Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway, Dec said: “I was thinking, isn’t it nice to see a daytime TV presenter standing on a luxury yacht without hearing the words ‘you and a friend could win £50,000 for life.'”

Ant replied: “Good Andi Peters impression” to which Dec deadpanned: “Who?”

But in the ad break, Andi took to Twitter to tell the duo their facts were inaccurate.

He wrote: “I think you’ll find it’s £100k, in time for Christmas! @antanddec @itv @imacelebrity #ImACeleb #youvegottobeinittowinit.”

Dec replied: “I stand corrected! Soz Andi! D x”.
