Ed Sheeran’s tattooist Kevin Paul slams Ex On The Beach star Jemma Lucy as ‘desperate to get back on the telly’
Kevin said he felt sorry for Jemma when he realised there was nothing she would not do for fame
ED Sheeran’s tattoo artist has blasted Ex On The Beach star Jemma Lucy for being ‘desperate’ and 'attention-seeking' after a vicious Twitter row.
Inker to the stars Kevin Paul claims that stars like Jemma create a “bad energy” because they would do anything to be on TV.
He told Sun Online: “Jemma just whores herself out for her five minutes of fame, slagging someone off or sticking Botox in her lip and putting it on the internet.
“She’s just that desperate to get back on the telly.
“I had a fallout with her on Twitter because she was slagging someone off and I stepped in to defend them.
“I started that argument thinking she was an a*******, but in the end I just felt sorry for her.
“It really made me stop and think.”
It's a surprising admission from Kevin, who like 26-year-old Jemma is a fan of body art and a favourite of reality TV fans.
As well as leaving his permanent mark on stars including Rihanna and Harry Styles, Kevin was best known for fronting Channel 5’s Tattoo Disasters before he quit last May.
But the pair clashed ferociously on Twitter over Jodie Marsh's comments about reality TV stars having sex on camera being "unpaid porn stars".
However, despite claiming that he has “grown” since his time on the cult show, he has confirmed that he could be set to star in this summer's Celebrity Big Brother.
Kevin admits that he is in talks with Channel 5, who are no doubt hopeful that he will spill the beans on his famous clients.
He said: "I have had a taste of reality TV and I liked it, it’s a good way to make money.
"It has opened doors for me.
“I understand where doing things for the attention and to get more work comes from, but I don’t do that any more.
“And it does make me sad to see how desperate people are.”

He added that he worries about aspiring stars who copy Jemma Lucy’s behaviour in the hope of landing a telly gig.
He said: “People watch these reality shows nowadays and they’d do anything to be part of it.
“They’ll have sex with anyone, on-screen or off-screen... they just want to be on telly.
“And us as the public, we can’t wait to watch that.
“I think that’s really sad that we just want to watch people argue and fall out.
“It creates such a bad energy. I’d love it if things were more positive.”
