Strictly Come Dancing’s Susan Calman and Kevin Clifton are to get matching tattoos now they’ve got to Blackpool.
The 42-year-old comedienne and her professional dance partner have waltzed their way into week nine of the BBC competition and are both planning on getting "I love Grimsby" inked on their skin to celebrate getting to perform at the city’s famous Tower Ballroom.
Speaking about getting the tribute to Kevin’s hometown – which led to him having the nickname ‘Kevin from Grimsby’ – on the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ podcast, Susan laughed: "I’m going to get ‘I love Grimsby’ tattooed on my foot.
"Not during the competition because I don’t think you can have an open wound but after the competition I’m getting ‘I love Grimsby’ tattooed on my right foot – specifically my right foot because it’s my best foot and you’ve taught my best foot how to dance.
"My left is rubbish, it’s the one I’m meant to close with and – as Darcey always says – it will be nice if you closed your legs once in a while.
"My left side of my body is not good, I’m dominant on my right."
Kevin, 35, says he’ll be getting his inked on his right hand, because he already has a heart he can add to.
He replied: "And if you do that, I’m going to get one on my right hand.
"I have a heart on my hand and I’m going to turn that into ‘I love Grimsby’."
Susan says she’s found it strange having a man bossing her about on the show, and gushed over her "sweetheart" partner.
She said: "I’ve never had a man tell me what to do. This is the first time in my life a man has told me what to do and I’ve listened because even when I had a job as a lawyer, I didn’t really listen to my boss then.
"You’re a sweetheart. You have to ask really nicely. I do it eventually."
‘Strictly Come Dancing’ returns live from Blackpool Tower on Saturday night (18.11.17), where Susan and Kevin will need to impress viewers and the judges with their Paso Doble.
