Ant McPartlin is best known for being one half of Ant and Dec and now he is back on our screens once again as he hosts the 2025 series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

I’m A Celeb host Ant McPartlin often shows off his tattoos while he is presenting one of his many iconic shows. The star has built up his tattoo collection over the years, with many holding sentimental meaning.

The dad-of-one has been open over the years about his struggles and some of these tattoos are as a reminder of what he has overcome. Ant is back on our screens as he presents the latest series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

He presents the show alongside long-time friend Declan Donnelly as the pair have become staples on our screens. Here’s a look at what Ant’s tattoos really mean and how many he has.

One of Ant’s largest and most meaningful tattoos is his family tree of his shoulder. The tat features five hidden names within the branches. Amzie, Daisy, Poppy, Bumble, Hurley and Milo are all intertwined within the tree. The tattoo holds great sentimental value as they are the names of his nearest and dearest step-children and his beloved dogs, Bumble, Hurley and Milo.

Back in 2022, Ant unveiled another tattoo which was a tribute to Beatles legend John Lennon. The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! host posed for a picture with co-host Dec Donnelly with the large inking on display on his arm.

The tattoo is a replica of the John Lennon black and white floor mural in New York, with the word Imagine, in the centre of the design.

Ant got a large rose design on left forearm as well as an arrow on his right. The star showed off the arrow back in 2019 as he said it has a “personal meaning, but it’s very positive”.

The year before, Ant had a new tattoo on his left wrist which is reported to be the Alcohol Anonymous symbol, a triangle in a circle, but he has not confirmed this.

The star also has S&H inked on his wrist and three stars near his left wrist. Ant unveiled some new tattoos just this year.

A new addition appeared on his chest as he enjoyed a holiday in Portugal this summer. Ant already has a tattoo of a heart with a circle and the letter A inside but it looks like he’s got another in honour of his wife Anne-Marie.

The Sun reported that a source said: “He looked in great shape and was totally relaxed. But he’s starting to get quite a collection of tattoos.

“Each one has a special meaning to him and pay tribute to what he treasures most in the world.” One of new tats consists of some sort of circle with wings either side but it is unknown exactly what the tattoo is meant to be, while another looks like he has got Amzie on his chest.
