SUSAN Calman is following through on her promise to get a Strictly Come Dancing tattoo if she made it to Blackpool - and her partner Kevin Clifton is getting a matching one.

The TV star vowed to get inked if she made it to the next stage of the competition and she has now told fans she's going through with it.

Back in September, Susan made a pledge to fans that she would get a permanent reminder of her time on the show if she did well.

Last night, she made it through to Blackpool - and she now has to get tattooed.

She will be getting "I love Grimsby" inked on her foot in honour of Kevin's hometown.

During an appearance on Strictly - It Takes Two tonight, she said: "I'm going to get an I love Grimsby tattoo on my foot."

Kevin is following suit by promising to get a heart tattoo on his heart turned into a matching inking.

He added: "I promised to get my heart tattoo turned into I Love Grimsby - so I've got to do that too."

But Susan insisted she won't be going under the needle until after she leaves the competition.

She explained: "The last thing you want is an open wound on your foot [while you're dancing]."

In September, she tweeted: "If we get to Blackpool I've promised @keviclifton that I'll get "I love Grimsby" tattooed on my foot. Make it so British public. Make it so."

She got a shock on Saturday night as judge Bruno Tonioli compared her to Doctor Foster for her grim-faced Tango.

The star ditched her happy face and showed her serious side for the sexy routine, but her expression left her with an unflattering comparison to Suranne Jones' disturbed TV character.
