Deal or No Deal contestant reveals Love Island tattoo on foot leaving audience in stitches
A DEAL or No Deal contestant left the audience in stitches as she revealed a Love Island tattoo on her foot.
Amy, originally from Essex, entered the ITV game show hoping to win £100,000.
Talk turned to an unusual tattoo on her foot – which bears the name of Love Island legend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Host Stephen Mulhern prompted the discussion by asking about the tattoo.
To which Amy replied: “I’ve got this tattoo which people probably think is a bit weird.
“It’s of a famous Love Islander’s name, Ekin-Su.”
She joked: “Hi Ekin, if you’re watching – I’ve got your name on my foot!”
Amy explained how the tattoo came about while on holiday in Turkey with her friends.
Continuing, she said: “We were watching Love Island at the time and I was just playing with a black eyeliner and just wrote her name on my foot.
“I just wrote her name on my foot and they were like, ‘Oh, are you going to get that?’ I was like, ‘Should I?’
“So, then I went to the tattoo shop and I got it.”
After Amy showed her tattoo to Stephen, he addressed her mother in the audience.
The presenter quipped: “You must be so proud, Mum!”
One viewer wrote on X: “ekin su when she comes out the villa to find out some random girl on deal or no deal has her name tattooed on her foot.”
Another remarked: “Knowing ekin su she would probably like that.”
