Amber-May Ellis, 21, has no regrets about having the piece of the popular soap persona, in a woolly hat with scraggly hair during his homeless phase in 2013, inked across most of leg - even though it was done in a drunken bet.

Speaking to student newspaper The Tab, she said: ''Basically it was a drunken bet - but it was so irrelevant no one can remember what it actually was. All we know was that I lost and I was getting the tattoo. It was a crazy night.''
