"Returning heroine Kelly Holmes had an L of a shock when she saw a fan's tattoo tribute.

The double Olympic champion didn't know whether to laugh or cry after spotting Emma Fitch's mis-spelt work of art during a walkabout in Kent.

Emma has had her back decorated with a big picture of Kelly, complete with the inscription: Kelly HOMES, Athens 2004.

And it's not a temporary measure.

Emma, 22, who bumped into Kelly at Tonbridge Castle, said: "It's a permanent tattoo, so it can't be changed.

"I was a bit drunk when I went to have it done a couple of days ago and the tattooist said he could not understand what I was saying."

Fair enough, although he understood enough to get the right picture, right first name and right Olympics.

When Holmes saw the effort she told her number one fan: "You're a nutcase, fancy having that done!"

But she admitted: "I'm very honoured" - even though she was left one L short of a legend.

Emma inisisted: "It still sounds like Holmes, so I'm not too bothered."

Course you're not, Emma. "

Not bothered... 'touched.'

So what? It's a big tribute, I think it's really cool, even if it's misspelled :)
