Andrew Brady has revealed a new tattoo – which covers an old inking of his ex Caroline Flack’s initials.
Brady, 27, and Flack, 40, had an on/off relationship in 2018 and at one point, they were even set to marry.
After their final split, the former Apprentice candidate started afresh in Australia – and he loves the country so much that it’s inspired his new body art.
Posting on his Instagram Story, Brady told fans it had been exactly a year since he “left a very toxic relationship.”

Sarah Harding may have branded Cheryl’s tattoo “ridiculous” – but her own back body art is a strong contender for worst tattoo. Two massive birds of paradise surround the caption: “Don’t be bitter-glitter.”

“I mark it one year on by doing something I probably should have done a while ago.”
While he did not name Love Island presenter Flack, he then shared a picture of a tattooist creating a cover-up design over his wrist tattoo of her initials.
He later revealed the finished design which shows the shape of Australia in black ink and a small red heart.
On the same day, Brady shared a series of photographs of himself on Instagram with the caption: “Standing alone doesn’t mean I am alone. It means I am strong enough to handle things all by myself.”
Explaining his love of Australia, he explained it is “a country that is filled with extreme and beautiful wilderness” adding: “I have completely fallen in love with the place. Don’t take my word for it. Come and see it for yourself.”
Since splitting from Brady, Flack has been linked to Danny Cipriani and, more recently, model Lewis Burton.
Earlier this month, the pair shut down engagement rumours after fans spotted the Love Island presenter wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger.
