Danielle Mason has tattoo of ex husband’s name covered up after marriage crumbles following Big Fat Gypsy Wedding
The star, and half sister of ex-EastEnders star Jessie Wallace, previously married Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Tony Giles
DANIELLE Mason is attempting to wipe all physical trace of her marriage to Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Tony Giles away for good.
The glamour model, 33, who recently split from Tony, lives with their children Rudy, five, and Delilah, three, and has now been pictured having a tattoo of her ex's name covered up for good.
Stripping down to just her bra, Danielle filmed the moment she hid her eyes as a tattoo artist covered up the small inking on her side.
Watching on, she looked happy with the result, no doubt keen to put the difficult time behind her.
Laid back in the chair, Danielle manages to show off a glowing tan and her slim figure despite the painful situation at Cobra Tattoo Studios in Essex.
And it comes after the beauty, half-sister of EastEnders star Jessie Wallace, opened up on her struggles fitting into the gypsy community and their “different walks of life” which eventually forced her to seek medical advice following their wedding.
Danielle, who was with the Channel 4 TV star for six years, said: “Trying to keep him happy made me ill – I had terrible panic attacks and anxiety.
“I had a couple of attacks a day and had to go to my doctor – now I’m on antidepressants and have been through therapy.
“There were times I struggled to get out of bed, let alone leave the house, as I was so worried about having an attack – I’d feel feel as though I was going to collapse.
“I can’t cope with all the drama – I just want to work and look after my children.”
The catwalk star revealed she was expected to limit her career prospects and take care of housework like a traditional traveller woman, while mastering longstanding food dishes.
The pair decided to live in a house with their two kids – with a caravan on the traveller site so cage fighter Tony could visit.

Yet friction started to show 18 months ago when Tony was locked up.
Last year, he served an eight month sentence while he waited for charges of GBH and firearms to be determined, of which he was then found not guilty.
In April he was shot in what was believed to be a brawl between rival gypsy gangs and the incident shook up Danielle enough to ask him to leave.
She told : “I’m sad – I loved him and thought we’d make it.
“I couldn’t make it work.
“In the end I’m a gorger (non traveller) and Tony’s a traveller and our lifestyles and expectations were too different.”
