I'm A Celebrity's Ant McPartlin shows off new John Lennon tattoo

I'm a Celebrity host Ant McPartlin has showed off his new tattoo in pictures with Declan Donnelly ahead of the new series of the reality show in Australia.

In the snaps Ant, 46, can be seen with a new tattoo on the inside of his forearm. A mandala-style shape had the word "Imagine" in the centre.

The large piece covers roughly half of his arm and is surrounded by circles and matching pattern designs, the Daily Star reports. The tattoo bears huge resemblance to the Imagine mosaic situated in New York's Central Park in memory of John Lennon.

The new pictures of the pair were taken ahead of their stint in the Australian jungle as they prepare to welcome the celebrities. Ant wore a black and white hounds tooth shirt with dark blue jeans and a black watch on his wrist.

He wore his hair pushed out of his face and beamed for the camera as he placed one hand on a white wooden fence with the other in his pocket. Dec stood beside him in a smart blue shirt, black trousers and a black watch similar to Ant’s.

He too wore his hair spiked up from his forehead and grinned down the camera lens as they both posed in the sun. The presenting pair arrived in style as they pulled up to a dock in a wooden speed boat and waved at this year’s contestants.

Among the cast are Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, Radio 1 star Chris Moyles, A Place In The Sun’s Scarlette Douglas and former Health Secretary Matt Hancock.

Matt’s appearance in the jungle has stunned the British public and figures predict he will be the contestant to receive the most Bushtucker trial votes - despite an exemption for some due to a health condition.

Some fans have been eagerly anticipating how outspoken contestants, such as Olivia and Chris, will react to having the politician in camp with them for three weeks.
