Kaye Adams has revealed she will be getting her first tattoo to celebrate turning 60.
The Loose Women presenter, who has been candid about her fear of reaching the milestone birthday, has already decided on the inking’s design too.
It will be a tribute to her late mother Cathie, who refused to tell anyone her age, only going as far as to say she was ‘over 21’ – and that is what Kaye has decided on.
The TV star, who turned 60 on December 28, also took part in the most recent series of Strictly Come Dancing ahead of her big day, partnering up with professional dancer Kai Widdrington.
Talking on her How to Be 60 podcast, started last year in a bid to help her ‘embrace leaving my 50s behind, Kaye revealed her current plans for the tattoo.
‘I’m definitely getting a tattoo, it’s going to be ‘Over 21’. I’ve done a bit of research of tattoo artists in Glasgow,’ she shared.

‘I’m just trying to work out where I put it, whether I put it on the inside of my wrist, or maybe down the side of my arm; I don’t know where to have it, or which font,’ she added, according to The Sun.
It’s a tongue-in-cheek yet loving tribute to her mother’s obsession, from whom Kaye believes she inherited her phobia of ageing – or being an ‘age denier’ as she brands it.
Kaye also recalled an instance when she witnessed her mother’s commitment to refusing to reveal her age as a child.

She told The Mirror last year: ‘She got stopped by police for speeding once. My brother and I were quite little and in the back of the car and we all got taken to the police station because she wouldn’t tell the police officer her date of birth.
‘All she would say was that she was over 21. My dad had to come and get us out by quietly revealing her age to the desk sergeant.’
The broadcaster has also admitted that the last birthday she celebrated ahead of this one was her 30th, and that she managed to knock a decade off her real age and keep the pretence up for more than 10 years.
After discussing her deception on a special birthday episode of Loose Women, Kaye marked her celebrated her big day on Instagram with a picture of her in her birthday sash and showing off her Loose Women cake.

‘Thank you to everyone at @loosewomen for making my birthday episode such a lovely one! If I knew 60 felt this good I wouldn’t have moaned about it so much!’ she wrote in the caption.
‘Goal for this year: Get butt cheeks as good as cake me! Time to get back to those squats,’ she jokingly added.
