Presenter Lorraine Kelly made a daring move in her presenting role as she revealed a new tattoo on her ITV show.
On the morning of Wednesday (November 20), Lorraine took charge of her eponymous programme, revealing that she had acquired some ink “this morning.” The extensive tattoo located on the back of her right arm reads, “The Female Boss.”
However, to put the minds of bewildered viewers at ease, Lorraine’s tattoo was not permanent, being a tribute to star Tulisa Contostavlos’ well-known tattoo and could likely be washed away.
Lorraine’s inaugural tattoo also echoed ‘s, who obtained a temporary one in support of the upcoming Invictus Games. She broadcasted a video of Harry’s tattoo, which appeared online, quipping: “All is not quite what it seems.”

However, with her recent appearance on , her dedicated fans were thrilled to see her revive the famous pose for the show’s opening sequence.
