Gogglebox’s Ellie Warner has unveiled a massive new tattoo on the top of her thigh. The 34 year old TV favourite took to Instagram on Tuesday, 25 February, to share a sneak peek of her work-in-progress ink. In an initial post on her Stories, Ellie shared a brief video from a Leeds tattoo parlour where she was seen baring one leg, showcasing a collection of smaller tattoos alongside the fresh addition. Ellie’s latest body art spans almost the entirety of her thigh, nestled next to a design featuring two cats. She followed up with a zoomed-in shot of the partially completed tattoo, revealing only some of the black outlines.

The ink depicts a swan’s head encircled by flowers, with an older tattoo of an eye at its centre. Ellie clarified the presence of the eye at the base of the swan’s neck, revealing that it’s an old tattoo set to be covered up. “Trust the process guys it’s a cover up,” she captioned a snap of the digitally rendered final design on her leg. “I just can’t handle more than this for one sitting,” she confessed, reports the Mirror. In her initial post, Ellie gave a shout-out to her tattoo artist, showing solidarity as a fellow small business owner. The star runs her own hair salon, Ellie Warner Hair at Tint 70 Leeds. However, last year she revealed that her salon had been broken into and appealed to fans for assistance in tracking down the perpetrator. In July, Ellie took to Instagram to share the shocking news of a break-in, posting CCTV images that captured the thief red-handed. “Anybody recognise this man?” she appealed to her followers, as she narrated the early morning heist at her Leeds city centre venue.

She said: “He broke into our salon in Leeds city centre at 4am on Tuesday morning,” revealing the culprit’s persistence and odd choice of loot. “He spent 40 minutes [entering] the salon and stole the most random things. He took a few people’s kit bags which contain hairdressing equipment which second hand is not worth much but expensive to replace individually and some things of sentimental value!” The TV star added: “The damage he has caused to the building is more than the value of the items he’s taken, it was the most bizarre burglary!” Ellie, who stars on Gogglebox with her sister Izzi, is mum to son Ezra, shared with partner Nat Eddleston. Ellie and Izzi are some of the longer-serving members of the Gogglebox line-up, having been on every series since joining in 2015 alongside other show favourites including Giles and Mary, and Dave and Shirley Griffiths.
