FEARNE Cotton has been given the ultimate souvenir from a mega pop star – a brand new tattoo.
The former Radio 1 host, 43, was permanently inked by the singer after nipping backstage before one of his gigs.
Fearne was given her tattoo by Teddy Swims, who is himself covered in body art.
She had gone to see him perform at Wembley Arena for his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy tour and came out with an inking on the back of her wrist.
In a video shared to Instagram, Fearne smiled as she said: “This is so exciting, guys. I’m going to get a tattoo!”
Fearne then giggled with slight hysteria before 32-year-old Teddy – who was wearing black sterile gloves – got to work.
The mum-of-two then revealed the US singer had tattooed a bear’s face on her wrist.
Fearne’s latest tattoo comes three months after her shock split from husband Jesse Wood.
She had been married to Jesse, who is the son of Rolling Stones icon Ronnie Wood, for 10 years.
Last month, we exclusively revealed Fearne has already found love again and is dating TV executive Elliot Hegarty, 53.
They were pictured kissing and holding hands in a busy London street weeks after splitting from their spouses.
But Fearne and Elliot’s other halves are apparently not taking it well.

A source said: “She’s already going through a difficult time, and this has just added to her heartbreak.
“It wasn’t an easy split because there are also children involved.”
Fearne’s musician ex Jesse is said to be equally as stunned.
“Jesse was so upset when they split,” a friend explained.
“He knew Fearne had started a relationship with Elliot and that has been tough.
“But to see them kissing in the street and laughing with her friends is a bitter pill to swallow.
“He was married to Fearne for ten years and he loved every inch of her.”
Fearne announced the split on December 16 and, just 10 days later, Elliot ended his relationship too.
The former Radio 1 host has remained in her and Jesse’s family home in west London with their two children.
Friends say Jesse, who is a guitarist with the band Reef, moved out following their split and has been comforted by his friends and family.
“Jesse is a quiet man who keeps himself to himself,” his friend continued.
“His family, notably his brothers and his sister, have been a huge support to him.
“They were all so shocked when Fearne and Jesse split, and they think her parading her new relationship with Elliot around town seems rather cruel.
“It has been all people have been talking about in their inner circles.”
