Jessica Plummer has revealed she’s gone under the needle for a new tattoo ahead of her rumoured appearance on this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
The former EastEnders star left the BBC soap after her character Chantelle Atkins was killed by her abusive husband Gray, played by Toby-Alexander Smith.
The 28-year-old took to her Instagram story to share the results of a recent trip a tattoo parlour and revealed she’d had two lilies inked on her ankle.
With the permanent artwork, Jessica paid tribute to her daughter and her great grandmother, as they both share a name.

She wrote over the snaps: “Two lilies. Noa’s middle name is after her great grandmother. My Gg.”
Jessica also thanked the artist Wolfgang Tattoo, adding: “It’s perfect.”
The floral tattoos show a winding lily going around her ankle, with two blooms open wide as well as a number of delicate leaves.
Jessica welcomed her daughter Noa, four years old, in 2016.

She will reportedly be spending some time away from her daughter next month though, as she’s one of the rumoured campmates for I’m A Celeb 2020.
It’s thought that she will join the likes of Strictly hunk AJ Pritchard, hosting icon Vernon Kay and Coronation Street matriarch Beverley Callard.
A source told The Sun last week: “Soap stars always do well in the show. Just look at Jessica’s Enders’ predecessor Jacqueline Jossa last year.
“Bosses are delighted to be able to convince her to take part.
“It’s a great move for both parties as she’s just left the soap and this is a great opportunity for her personality to be shown to millions.”
It’s said she hopes the reality show could be a “real stepping stone” for her future.
Jessica had only been on EastEnders since 2019, joining as hairdresser Chantelle and quickly becoming involved in a dark domestic abuse storyline.
Viewers were left distraught by her final scenes, which saw abusive husband Gray push her during an argument.
She fell backwards onto the open dishwasher and was stabbed by some upturned knives, with Gray leaving and allowing her to die instead of trying to get help.
I’m A Celeb kicks off on ITV in November
