A contestant who won £30,000 on Family Fortunes has had a tattoo of the show's host Gino D'Acampo.

Alex Burgess appeared on the show with her family and vowed to get the ink to mark the occasion, telling the presenter: "I'm going to get your face tattooed on my arm."

Alex, who proved she is a woman of her word, took to Twitter and wrote: "One whole year ago the Burgess family graced your screens with our presence on @ITV's Family Fortunes and won £30,000!

"How did I celebrate? Got a @Ginofantastico tattoo of course - a woman of my word."

According to the Daily Star, Alex paid £300 for the ink which took around three hours to complete and features Gino's face alongside the quote: "Our survey says?"

Alex, from South Shields, took the time to explain a little more context as to why she got the tattoo when she first posted it on Instagram in December 2020.

She wrote: "Fully prepared for the haters so let me just tell you why I went ahead with it.⁣

"This year has been utterly horrendous. Especially the first part. I lost my Grandma which absolutely broke me and my mental health wasn't great at all. Family Fortunes came along out of the blue and in a really rubbish year, things started looking up and changed for the better. ⁣

"We won the show, I was offered a full time job as a Trainee Accounts Assistant, I graduated my MA with a distinction and Adam and I managed to put a deposit on our dream house."

She added: "THAT is what I want to remember 2020 for and my tattoo will help me with that. Plus, it's mint."

Commenting on Alex's recent Twitter post, one person wrote: "Omg this looks amazing Alex, if only I had the nerves to get a tattoo, this would be it lol."
