There are few better ways of showing your loyalty to your football team than getting a tattoo.
Plenty of us have done it, but popular sports presenter Helen Chamberlain went one step further by getting the crest of her beloved club inked on her bottom. The Soccer AM legend is a massive Torquay United fan, taking every opportunity to mention the Gulls during her long stint fronting the iconic Sky show, which she left in 2017.
It is unclear when exactly she got her derriere tattooed with the crest and initials TUFC, but she proudly showed it off in 2004 as she modelled a new line of sports bras at Trafalgar Square in London.

Chamberlain, who hails from Somerset but lives in Surrey, is among the Gulls fans concerned for the future of the club after owner Clarke Osbourne announced he would be withdrawing funding.
Following the news, fans of clubs around the country have rallied behind Devon outfit on social media, with one posting on X (formerly Twitter): “I always think of @HellsBellsy when I see Torquay United. Really hope they survive for her sake.”

In reply, Chamberlain, 56, simply posted a heart emoji. One of her former colleagues at Sky, Jeff Stelling, also wished the ailing club well. He posted: “The news doesn’t get much worse than this. Just hope it becomes a fresh start for @TUFC1899 rather than the alternative!!”
However, there was a positive update this week, with three parties reportedly interested in buying the Plainmoor club. Osbourne is said to working on a quick sale, which would avoid administration and a 10-point penalty for the mid-table National League South side.
A club statement earlier this month read: “Ultimately, Torquay United’s long-term future hinges on securing new ownership, and everyone behind the scenes is working tirelessly to ensure the best solution possible is found.
“Although nothing can be taken for granted, there is cause for cautious optimism. The club has received a high volume of enquiries, and as part of this process, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) have now been issued to all interested parties.”
