Showing off the tattoo, Fletcher wrote: “Rawr! Today was the first day I’ve had to myself since @mrsgifletcher went to Wales over a month ago so I visited the incredibly talented and lovely @nouvellerita for a little me time.

“I’ve wanted a dinosaur for a while so with “tri” obviously meaning three and us having three kids, a triceratops with its three horns felt right (plus Gi’s @imacelebrity number was 03 too!🤯).

“So, here she is, ready to give me the strength of a dinosaur…or maybe just look super awesome. Thanks @nouvellerita for doing this incredible work of art while a caught up on some sleep! “.
