Cliff Parisi says I’m A Celebrity campmates all want matching tattoo

Cliff Parisi says the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ campmates are all getting a matching tattoo.
The 59-year-old actor – who became the third person to be voted out of the ITV reality show on Monday (02.12.19) – has revealed the stars have all become so close that they’re considering a special inking to commemorate the jungle experience.
Appearing on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, he said: "We’re setting up a WhatsApp group so we’re all going to see each other, we’re talking about getting a tattoo…
"We don’t know [what or where], we haven’t decided yet. We’re going to start deciding between us. It might be just the rear end of a possum."
The ‘Call the Midwife’ star – who also appeared as Minty Pearson in ‘EastEnders’ – opened up about his experience in the camp, and admitted he "lost a stone and a half" because of the diet on the programme.
He laughed: "I’ve lost a stone and a half, because it’s the beans. I’m never going to have another bean in my life. It’s torture – I’ve had a lovely time though."
And he joked the experience has turned him into iconic literary character Doctor Dolittle after he had to get up close and personal with a whole array of animal friends.
He added: "It’s a health farm. I’ve been paid to go on a diet somewhere sunny and live in the jungle with critters and get to know animals. I’m like Doctor Dolittle."
Although Cliff – who was a late addition to the camp alongside actor Andy Whyment – has been living on some basic rations since entering the jungle, he was treated to a feast the night before his eviction, as Nadine Coyle managed to win all 10 stars in the Bushtucker Trial, giving the campmates a dinner of duck, neeps, green papaya, congos, seaside greens, and ugli fruit for dessert.
