I've got a tattoo to my mum.... but she'd be horrified and tell me to act my age!

Loose Women star Kaye Adams had vowed never to get a tattoo until a favourite saying of her late mums whenever she was asked her age Over Twenty One seemed the perfect way to celebrate turning 60.

But the TV and radio presenter admits her mother would have been horrified if also just a wee bit chuffed at the inking in her honour.

Kaye explains: Although I've done it for her, the irony is shed have absolutely killed me and told me to act my age!

“She is not going to be looking down and smiling, she'll be shaking her fist, but I think it would be fake outrage and deep down shed be proud too?

The former Strictly Come Dancing star caused a stir on Instagram when she posted a photo of the tattoo.

“But Over Twenty One suddenly popped into my head’

Kaye was close to her parents, dad Duncan, who died in 2017, and mum Cathie, who passed away in 2018.

She says: I've got one of my mum's rings and it’s lovely, but it’s just not me. I sometimes look at it and feel quite guilty and almost disloyal and wish that I felt more of a connection with it.

“So, I guess the tattoo is a jewellery substitute it’s very much a real reminder of Mum and makes me smile:

Kaye had the tattoo done on her left forearm in her home town Glasgow, four weeks after turning the big 6-0 on December 28.

“I wanted it to look like a nice squiggle from a distance,’ she explains. I looked for a card from my mum to copy her handwriting. I couldn't find anything right, but it’s still my mum's joined-up handwriting style.

“The woman who did it couldn't have been better, because it was so unlike a tattoo studio. This place had a piano in the waiting room and lovely prints’
