While on Love Island Liam spoke about wanting a Tom Jones tattoo, as he also sang a Tom Jones song during the talent show night and expressed his love for the singer.

Now the brickie from Merthyr Tydfil is making his dream tattoo a reality.

This new tattoo is on his leg and shows Sir Tom throughout the ages, from a young man to the recognisable face he is now.

Liam, who has moved to Essex, is visiting friends and family in his homeland and he is getting his tattoo done in stages at Lucy Lou's Tattoos in Merthyr.

Taking to his Instagram stories Liam said he was "back in the chair" and credited Lucy Turner, his tattoo artist, as a "magician" before then showing the inspiration photo behind the tattoo.

Updating his followers on the progress Liam shared a video of the first stages of the tattoo.

He also revealed on Instagram that he had been hoping to complete some Welsh walks while back home, like when he and his girlfriend Millie Court climbed Pen y Fan - however, the weather had put a hold on those plans.

Liam has relocated to Millie's home of Essex, where he was not impressed with the beaches, and they are apartment hunting together.

Millie was unable to join Liam in Wales due to her work commitments and Liam has sent her a pair of luxury sliders to make up for it.
