Some fans were convinced the tattoo is fake given that it was seemingly not visible during Vernon's appearance on I'm A Celebrity in 2020 – but others weren't so sure. "Having watched your IG story. It is real!" one stated.

And a fourth follower immediately thought of Vernon's wife. "Poor Tess.. she's the one looking at it #traumo'd!"
It comes after Vernon gave a revealing interview about family life with Tess and their daughters. He admitted that now the girls are older, they are less excited about their mum's appearances on Strictly.

He added that their interest is limited to "what mum is wearing".
