Richard Madeley has responded fiercely to suggestions that his latest tattoo proves that he is in love with himself.

‘It’s not about me, it’s about the artist,’ he told the June issue of Top Tattoo Magazine. ‘Trevor does all my tattoos for me and this is probably his best work so far. I’d say it’s better than the name of my favourite TV presenter he put on my right ankle last year.’

In the interview, Madeley also reveals for the first time that his life-long fascination with body art means he has a new tattoo done each year. ‘My back is the next big project,’ he explained. ‘I want a crucifix done of the male half of the UK’s top book reviewing couple and then the year after that I intend to have my most ambitious tattoo yet. I’m having my own face tattooed onto my face. It will be a fitting tribute to one of TV’s greatest talents.’
