Stacey Solomon has revealed her first ever tattoo - and it's a tribute to her husband Joe Swash.
The mum-of-five flashed the subtle inking in a photo she posted to Instagram last night. In the snap she can be seen laughing as she rummages through her handbag - which contains just her phone and a pair of dummies.
Positioned on the inside of her ring finger, it reads 'Joe' in elongated handwriting.
The Loose Women favourite, 33, previously asked her 5.6m Instagram followers if she was too old to get her first tattoo.
In a video she said: “So, Belle and me were having a quiet Friday laying on the sofa and I think I want a tattoo. Am I having a midlife crisis or is it my hormones?

She wants to permanently write the names of all her kids - Belle, two months, Rose, 15 months, and Rex, three, with husband Joe Swash, and sons Zach, 15, and Leighton, nine, from previous relationships - on to her body.
Taking the idea and running with it, Stacey then shared some black and white images of her brother - a professional tattoo artist - helping her decide on placements with some stencil designs.
She told fans: “So my brother is a tattooist and he kept the shop open late tonight so we can have a little stencil session. I can’t believe I’m actually doing it. So excited.
“Just a little play around tonight while the kids are in bed then we can go for it when I’m back from Paris."

From the bath, she told fans that it enraged her when Joe says "for you".
She explained: "I don't know why it winds me up so much, but for example it'll be like, I've made dinner for you.
"For me? Just for me? Am I going to eat it all? Or is it for everyone?"
She continued: "I've wiped down the surfaces for you. Oh ok so I'll eat off the clean surface and you can eat off the surface with salmonella. Yeah, because it's just for me.

"I've done a food shop for you. These are fundamental things we all need to survive. Like this is just how we keep our family and children alive. I don't understand why it's all for me?
"Also sometimes I genuinely wonder if I'm reacting wrong because my reaction is often this, 'Thanks' with a little bit of a twitchy eye. When I think what I imagine he's thinking I'll do is be like 'Hooray! Hooray for you!'."
