A football-mad gran has proved she is the Special One's number one fan after getting a giant tattoo of Jose Mourinho's face - inked over her breast.
Viv Bodycote, 59, has covered her home with pictures of the Manchester United manager and has even named her pet tortoises after Mourinho and his wife Matilde.
Now the gran-of-five has celebrated her love for The Special One by getting a tattoo inked across her chest.
The tattoo is Viv's fourth in tribute to Mourinho as she already has one on her arm of the Portuguese flag with the words 'The Special One' and the initials 'JM' on her wrist.
She also has a tattoo of a heart under the words "Mrs Jose Mourinho" on her chest.
Viv, from Earl Shilton, Leics., got the latest tattoo as an early Christmas present from long-suffering husband Tony, 76, who paid £120 for her to go under the needle.
Teaching assistant Viv said: "What can I say? I love Jose. I supported Chelsea when he was manager and now I support him at Manchester.
"He's an inspirational manager and I love everything about him.
"My husband is very supportive and really surprised me when he said he'd bought me a Jose tattoo for Christmas.
"It took two-and-a-half hours to complete and hurt like hell but I'm delighted with the result. Every time I look down, he's on my heart."
Mum-of-two Viv, who also has five grandchildren, says she spends all day thinking about the Special One and wears a 'Mrs Mourinho' t-shirt to bed.
The gran has supported Chelsea since the age of 15 and fell for the manager when he first took charge in 2004.
But she switched allegiance to Manchester United when he took charge there in the summer and had her second tattoo in celebration.
Viv is now saving up to have her entire home decorated with special Mourinho wallpaper.
She added: "It's more of an obsession than being a fan.
"I won't go out If he's on TV. I watch every single game and every interview. It occupies quite a lot of my life.
"It has become a real addiction, he has become an addiction.

Husband Tony, a retired labourer, added: "Ever since I've known Viv, she's been obsessed with Jose and she's carried me along with it.
"I'm not the jealous type. It's nice to see her so enthusiastic about him. I thought long and hard what to get Viv for Christmas and knew she'd love another tattoo of him.
"I picked her favourite picture of him and contacted the tattoo salon and booked it as a surprise. I have to say, I think it looks fantastic."
