And explaining why he transformed his appearance, he previously told us: “Tattoos were a way for me to cope. “When Jessica was home for respite for the week a friend who is a tattoo artist came to my house three times a week and tattooed me for eight hours.“Seeing my daughter in the hospital with all the tubes was too much for me.”And back in June he revealed why he got huge portraits of Ronnie and Reggie Kray tattooed on his back for Jessica.Explaining why, he said: “The Kray brothers are on either side of her as if they are protecting her.“I wanted the Krays because they are well-known famous figures.
