Dan Osborne has promised that he will get an Olympic tattoo if he wins Splash! tomorrow night (February 15).

The Attitude cover star admitted that he really wants to beat Paralympian Richard Whitehead to the title.

He told PA: “When you’re in the final with Perri who’s just flinging around double somersaults and I’m struggling to get a tuck dive… so I don’t think I’ll win.

“I would love to win, it’d be amazing, especially just to beat Richard. It’d be the most amazing thing to beat an Olympian and if I do beat him I’ve promised to get an Olympic tattoo on my chest just like his.

“I was going to get a cross through it but I think I’d have every athlete hating me so I’ll probably just get the Olympic one and just put ‘Beat Richard’ at the bottom of it.

“I’ve promised to get that even if I come third and he comes fourth – it’s game on.”

Dan joked that Richard Whitehead will get a portrait of him on his back if he does beat him in the competition.

The Splash! live final airs tomorrow night at 7.20pm on ITV.
