While it was no surprise Piers Morgan was going to go in on Jesy Nelson after she shared a picture of her latest tattoo – a gun – Ollie Locke has also thrown in his two bob.

The Made In Chelsea star isn’t too happy with Jesy’s choice, as he labelled the ink ‘absurd’ and not well thought out.

Ollie, 31, claimed the Little Mix singer made a ‘childish’ move for opting to have the controversial body art, as he insisted the 27-year-old pop star should have thought about the implications of getting the tattoo because of her influence over young people.



‘This is just a childish thing for one of the biggest musicians in the world to do,’ Ollie said on Jeremy Vine On 5 today. ‘Someone needs to think and say “Come on, obviously this is not something you do.” It’s absurd.’

However, as someone who deals in the press, he did go a little lighter on the lass as he did admit perhaps it was a symbol that meant something more to her than merely just a weapon.

And let’s remember Rihanna also has a tattoo of a gun; Jesy is hardly the first pop star to do so.

Ollie added: ‘They’re nice girls, and obviously they’ve not spoken to the press yet and it may mean something incredibly important to her…’

On Tuesday Jesy shared an image of her new inking, which has now been deleted after it drew a lot of criticism. No less from Good Morning Britain’s Piers Morgan, who got into a bit of a beef with Jesy only two weeks ago about Little Mix’s Strip video.

Speaking on the show on Wednesday, Piers said: ‘Jesy, this great role model to millions of young women who wants to really empower them, she’s had a new tattoo put on herself which she posted last night.

‘It’s a gun on the right side of her backside. Isn’t that great as gun crime in this country continues to tick up, as gun crime in other countries like America rages and so many people are being shot to pieces, of course the best thing to do for a young woman as a role model to loads of impressionable young girls is to tattoo a gun to her backside.

‘And people wonder why I call these girls at Little Mix irresponsible or stupid.’

Note, it appeared to be on her ribcage, not backside, but moving on.

He added: ‘That’s the message she wants to be commuted to her millions of her young female fans is a gun’s cool. A gun. Isn’t that great? God she’s stupid.’

Susanne Reid didn’t see the issue was quite as dire as Piers was predicting, though, as she said: ‘Do you think that’s going to encourage more people to be violent? I don’t think it’s going to have any impact on the violence whatsoever.



‘I wouldn’t choose to do it myself but I think it’s fine for her to do it.’
