She and her best friend Holly went on the show as 'jokers,' claiming they could take anything as a laugh, including bad tattoos.
But just six years on, Chelsea has given fans an update on her life since the programme aired and the fate of her inking.
In the episode, Holly decided to surprise Chelsea with two tattoos just below her bum of two streaky bacon rashers.
Asked why she picked the design, Holly said: "So basically any time Chelsea fake tans, it looks absolutely shocking, she looks like streaky bacon.
"Everyone always points out how bad her tan is."
In return, Chelsea gave Holly a tattoo of an emoji throwing up on her back.
Now, Chelsea has taken to social media to share her side of appearing on the MTV show.
In a TikTok video, she said: "Remembering you went on TV and had two pieces of bacon tattooed for having streaky s**t fake tan."
Chelsea shook her head in horror as she showed off the tattoo, which she can only laugh about now.
"All for the lols, 6 years now," Chelsea added.

Some people took to the comments questioning if the tattoo was even real which Chelsea confirmed it was.
However, she also said she had since had it covered up.
The clip posted to her account @ chelusionx went viral with over 900k views and 27k likes.
People were quick to share their thoughts on the tattoo in the comments.
CELEBRITY Tattoo Artist Matt Roe has revealed his top tips on getting inked to Fabulous...
WHAT TATTOOS LOOK BEST?
Matt says: "Tattoos are a highly personal choice, and my preference leans towards black and grey over colour. This is a style I've specialised in for over decade of my career, after exploring a variety of styles during my initial six years in tattooing.
"This choice evolved from a deep appreciation for the timeless aesthetic that black and grey tattoos offer. Beyond colour preferences, it can be rewarding to choose a design that holds personal significance or matches your aesthetic tastes, although it isn't strictly necessary.
"From an artistic standpoint, well-balanced designs that harmonise with the body's natural contours and enhance your features will invariably stand the test of time.
"I often draw inspiration from classic pieces of art or nature for my designs, as these themes are more enduring and less influenced by trends. Whether opting for a bold statement piece or a delicate fine line design, the right tattoo should always feel like it's meant to be a part of you."
WHICH STYLE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Matt shares: "Identifying the right style for your tattoo starts with some initial research. It's worth dedicating time to explore different tattoo styles - traditional, realism, and geometric are just a few examples.
"Pay attention to what visually appeals to you the most. Reflect on the types of art that resonate with you in other areas of your life and consider how these preferences might translate onto your skin.
"Before choosing a tattoo artist, have a clear idea of your preferred style, as most artists have their specialisations. Requesting a style outside their expertise is like asking an oil painter to create a pencil drawing—they might manage it and could do well, but it won't showcase their tried-and-tested skills to the best of their ability.
"Once you've narrowed down your preferences, a skilled tattoo artist should be able to suggest designs that complement your skin tone, body type, and the intended scale of your tattoo.
"The key is to blend your personal taste with professional guidance to find a style that truly suits you."
TATTOOS TO AVOID?
Matt recommends: "It's wise to steer clear of designs that are overly trendy, or based on jokes and fads, as these can quickly become outdated.
"Some might recommend opting for heavy bold tattoos as they have been known to age better, but from my experience, a well-tattooed fine line piece can outlast a poorly tattooed bold-lined tattoo this isn't to say one is better than the other but my advice would be to choose someone experienced and skilled in the type of tattoo you are looking for.
"Also, consider the long-term implications of getting tattoos with names of partners or overtly aggressive motifs, as these might limit your personal and professional opportunities in the future.
"Additionally, think carefully about the placement of your tattoo, especially if it may need to be covered for professional reasons. These might not be concerns you need to consider, given your lifestyle, but having them in mind before proceeding with a tattoo is advisable.
"Ultimately, a tattoo should be something that you are confident and comfortable with for a lifetime, reflecting your true self without reservation.
"When looking for an artist, it's best to find ones with good reviews and healed photos of their work. Try to find someone with whom you feel comfortable and who will listen to any concerns you may have about design and placement. You don't want to feel rushed into a decision that will be with you forever."
One person wrote: "I'm sorry but you definitely got the better tatt, I'll never get over what you did to Hol."
Another commented: 'Do you still have it."
"They are covered now but you can see them coming through," replied Chelsea.
"I need to see them covered but what an absolute violation," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I remember watching this and crying."
"I've just seen the clip… You definitely got the better tattoo,' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'The sad part is this is one of the best tattoos in that show in terms of the technique and actual art. Even if the idea for a tattoo was good, usually the quality and aesthetic were way below the average."
