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.
I got an elephant tattoo - but it looks like a penis
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."

EastEnders star Michelle Ryan reveals she turned down HUGE US role as Zoe Slater returns to Walford
EASTENDERS legend Michelle Ryan has revealed she turned down a massive role in the US - as she makes her shock return to Walford as Zoe Slater. Nearly 20 years after waving goodbye to Albert Square, Michelle is stepping back into Zoe Slater's heels as part of a dramatic new storyline. 5 5 The actress, 40, kept a low profile in recent years, admitting she 'never ruled out a return' - but says the timing had to be right. But Michelle revealed she turned her back on a shot at Hollywood fame - by snubbing an audition for hit US series Boardwalk Empire. The EastEnders icon wanted to try out for the role eventually snapped up by Kelly Macdonald in 2010, but gave it a miss over fears of being tied into a five-year contract. She admitted the long-term commitment made her think twice - despite the role being in one of the biggest HBO dramas of the decade. Boardwalk Empire was a critically-acclaimed American period crime drama that aired on HBO from 2010 to 2014, spanning five seasons. Set during the Prohibition era in 1920s Atlantic City, the series followed the rise and reign of corrupt political figure Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (Steve Buscemi). The stellar cast also included Michael Shannon, Michael Pitt, Stephen Graham as Al Capone and Shea Whigham. Created by Terence Winter (The Sopranos) and produced by Martin Scorsese, the series was a hit with critics and fans alike - bagging two Golden Globes, 20 Emmys, and plenty of praise for its stylish production, gripping storylines and powerhouse performances. Despite ending after five seasons, it's still remembered as one of HBO's most lavish and ambitious shows. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Michelle wrote: "What a phenomenal series this is. Another by Terence Winter. I love Kelly McDonald, she is just so compelling in her role. EastEnders' Michelle Ryan reveals emotional secret reunion with soap cast before Zoe Slater's bombshell return "My agent at the time, back in 2010 wanted me to meet for a part on this for casting, I passed. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ A big mistake for sure. I was wary of five year contracts back then. "Anyway, things happen for a reason. And the actress who was given the role is so so so good. I love what she did with the part. "It also taught me that when you read a pilot it doesn't show you the entire part of a character and that when it's a new series it will evolve, lesson learned! "Everyone in the series is incredible. It's such a luxurious piece. And I'm only on season one! Yay." Michelle shot to fame playing feisty Zoe in the early 2000s - best known for the iconic 'You ain't my mother!' scene with on-screen mum Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace). Forgotten soap storylines The nation's soaps have had many gripping storylines play out over the years. However, some plots proved to be far less memorable. Here are some forgotten stories from Weatherfield, Walford and more... Coronation Street Ken and Audrey's romance (2015): After the death of wife Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride), Coronation Street original Ken Barlow (William Roache) started to move on in his life. He started to develop a spark with old friend Audrey (Sue Nicholls), with then-Corrie boss saying it would be like "Ross and Rachel". In the end, nothing ever came of it and the two remained platonic pals. Beth's bigamy (2016): Despite being happily married to Kirk (Andrew Whyment), a troubling secret came to light about Beth Tinker (Lisa George). It transpired that she had never divorced from her first husband, Darryl (Paul Loughran), father of her son Craig (Colson Smith). Although Craig and Kirk were shocked - and Beth was arrested - the storyline didn't didn't go much further. EastEnders Kat Slater's secret son (2017): Capitalising on the popularity of Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie (Shane Richie), the two received a spin-off back in 2017. Titled 'Redwater', it saw the two travel to Ireland where they met long-lost son Luke, now called Dermott Dolan, played by Oisín Stack. Despite the high-tension events during Redwater, Kat seems to have put the experience behind her as Dermott's not been mentioned since. Alfie's brain tumour (2015): Having learned in 2015 that he had a brain tumour, Alfie kept the news from Kat until their trip to Ireland. At the time, actor Shane Ritchie revealed fans would see a change in Alfie as he battled the illness. It would appear that at some point after leaving the Square, was told the tumour was non-malignant. By the time Alfie returned in 2022, fans were left confused over what had happened to the storyline. Kathy and Buster's affair (2016): In 2016, Walford legend Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) fell into the arms of convict Buster Briggs, played by Karl Howman. Buster was the long-time lover of Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and fathered both her sons - Mick (Danny Dyer) and Dean (Matt Di Angelo). When Buster left, he begged Kathy to join him, but she refused for the sake of her family. Meanwhile Buster didn't even stop to say goodbye to Shirley before exiting with a broken heart. Fans expected a showdown between the two women, but this never came to pass. Emmerdale Jacob's OCD (2016): After his dad, David (Matthew Wolfenden), was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2016, Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) developed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This manifested in the form of cleaning. Jacob's OCD made a brief return one year on, after David had another scare after finding a lump. Jacob frantically searched the bins for a 'lucky coin' that had accidentally been thrown away. Despite stressful situations - such as being groomed by his teacher Maya, losing his fiancee Leanna to a serial killer, dealing with mum Leyla's drug addiction, and surviving a stabbing - the condition doesn't appear to have returned. Marlon and Charity's fling (2003): Few fans would likely remember few will remember the one-night stand between Charity (Emma Atkins) and Marlon (Mark Charnock) in 2003. The pair slept together when Charity was staying with Marlon while still under suspicion for husband Chris's supposed "murder". Hollyoaks Alex Browning's revenge plot (2014): Fans expected a confrontation when Dr Browning's son Alex (Ojan Genc) mer stepmum Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe). After all, Mercedes, with Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) and Lindsey Butterfield (Sophie Austin) had murdered Alex's dad, double-murderer Dr Paul Browning, after he kidnapped and attacked his new wife. In fact, the soap teased Alex would seek revenge for his father's death upon arriving. However, he instead gave Cindy's son Hilton (his half-brother) a life-saving transplant, became his godfather, and leaving the village soon after. The iconic character made her dramatic return to Walford after two decades away, but viewers are already speculating there's a hidden agenda behind the familiar face resurfacing. Some viewers are convinced she's not here for a cosy family catch-up. Instead, they think she's got unfinished business with Ross and stepson Joel, who rocked up alongside Vicki Fowler earlier this year for Martin Fowler's funeral. Since landing on the Square, teen Joel has been ruffling feathers - and while fans have uncovered a string of his dark secrets, one mystery remains... who's his real mum? Now, viewers reckon Zoe could be hiding the ultimate bombshell. Taking to the Instagram, one fan wrote: "We reckon she's Joel's mum!" Another added: "Omg it will be crazy if she is acc Joel's biological mum!" A third penned: "You ain't my mother' to be recreated with Zoe & Joel, I predict." Viewers will see Zoe in two further episodes this week - but she will be on board full-time this summer. EastEnders new boss, Executive Producer Ben Wadey added: 'Before I even stepped into the role, Zoe Slater was on my wish-list of returnees as, although we haven't seen her on screen for twenty years, her character has transcended time due to her popular storylines.' 5 5

King and Queen arrive at Royal Ascot
The King and Queen recalled the 'thrill of victory' as they arrived at Royal Ascot for the opening day of the glamorous sporting event. Their Majesties led the traditional carriage procession as they swept onto the Berkshire course to loud cheers from the crowd. They were joined by horse breeder Prince Faisal bin Salman Al Saud and Lady Sarah Keswick, one of the Queen's closest confidantes, for the first of five days of racing. In their traditional message to guests, the King and Queen referred to their triumph in 2023, when their horse, Desert Hero, won the King George V Stakes, marking their first Royal Ascot winner as owners. 'Having experienced the thrill of victory at Royal Ascot ourselves in 2023, we can only wish all those competing this week the very best of luck and that everyone watching has a most enjoyable five days,' they said. Riding behind the King and Queen in the second carriage was the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, and the Queen's sister, Annabel Elliot. Princess Anne's son, Peter Phillips and his girlfriend, Harriet Sperling, were in the third carriage, joined by author Anthony Horowitz and his wife, Jill. The Queen's Reading Room, Camilla's book club and charity, with which Horowitz is closely associated, has an exhibition stand at Ascot for the first time that will encourage visitors to take a break from the hustle and bustle and 'sit back and relax with a book'. The King and Queen said they hoped it would be of interest 'and that the delights of reading might even serve to enhance the pleasures of riding...' Riding in the fourth carriage was barrister Henry Morton Jack and his wife, Lady Joanna, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Halifax, alongside Lord and Lady Vestey. The royal procession is celebrating its 200th anniversary, a tradition which began during the reign of George IV in 1825 when the monarch was accompanied by the Duke of Wellington. The King and Queen lost out on a winner last year but will be hoping for victory in the Ascot Stakes, when their horse Reaching High, trained by Willie Mullins, takes on other thoroughbreds. Mullins, reflecting on the thoroughbred's narrow defeat at Leopardstown racecourse in Ireland, said: 'I've been very happy since his first run, he did everything nicely at Leopardstown and if he could run a similar type of race at Ascot I would be very pleased.' Queen Elizabeth II was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. The King and Queen have taken on her stable of horses and were visibly emotional when Desert Hero triumphed in 2023.

Zara and Mike Tindall shrug off stuffy formality as they warmly greet royal relatives - including the King - with pecks on the cheeks at Ascot
The British royal family turned out in force at the opening of Royal Ascot today - and Zara and Mike Tindall seemed particularly pleased to see their relatives. King Charles, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, both fans of racing, arrived in the famous carriage procession - which is marking its 200th anniversary this year - along the Berkshire racecourse. The monarch appeared in great spirits as he tipped his hat to the crowd and waved, while the Queen looked elegant in a grey dress and hat. Riding in the first carriage to the tune of the national anthem, they were joined by the Lady Sarah Keswick and Prince Faisal bin Salman Al Saud. Following right behind them was Princess Anne, Annabel Elliot and the Duke and Duchess of Wellington. Today's royal procession featured a very special guest, as Peter Phillips was accompanied in the third carriage by his girlfriend Harriet Sperling after making their debut at Royal Ascot last year. Harriet, 45, played the part perfectly in an all-white ensemble featuring a cropped jacket with puffed sleeves, accessorising with a smart woven hat. Peter, 47, who is King Charles's nephew, has been dating Harriet for over a year, after breaking up with his previous partner of three-years, Lindsay Wallace. And the invitation to join the prestigious procession can be seen as a seal of approval from the King and a very high honour. Last year, the couple packed on the PDA before meeting with the King and Queen, embarking on their new romance just weeks after his split from Lindsay. In the final carriage were the Lord and Lady Vestey and Henry and Joanna Morton Jack. Queen Elizabeth II was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V Stakes. The monarch and his wife will be hoping for a winner in the Ascot Stakes when their horse Reaching High, trained by Willie Mullins, takes on other thoroughbreds. Mullins, reflecting on the thoroughbred's narrow defeat at Leopardstown racecourse in Ireland, said: 'I've been very happy since his first run, he did everything nicely at Leopardstown and if he could run a similar type of race at Ascot I would be very pleased.' Meanwhile, the royal procession has reached its 200th anniversary this year after it was first held in 1825 during the reign of King George IV. Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the UK racing calendar, starts today with the Queen Anne Stakes and will run until Saturday. The prestigious festival was founded by Queen Anne in 1711 after she declared Ascot ideal for 'horses fit for kings' and has today become a major social event as well as a sporting attraction. Glamorous racegoers pulled out all the sartorial stops as they arrived at Royal Ascot in the sunshine today to kick off the annual celebration in style. As one of the highlights of the racing calendar, the prestigious festival at the Berkshire racecourse is just as famous for its fashion as it is for its races. This year, statement hats were the focal point of revellers' eye-popping looks as day one of the annual race meeting got underway. Dressed to impress, guests wore a variety of show-stopping headpieces as they descended on Ascot for a day of equestrian fun. Floral prints, modest hemlines and attention-grabbing hats were the order of the day for many, while others looked effortlessly elegant in crisp white dresses and sharp blazers. Whilst no dress code rules apply in the Windsor Enclosure, although the majority of guests choose to dress up regardless, a strict dress code operates across the Royal and Queen Anne Enclosures. Hats are a must in both Royal enclosures. Alternatively, a headpiece or 'hatinator' with a minimum base diameter of 4 inches (10cm) is also acceptable. Dresses must be knee length or longer and forget spaghetti straps - all shoulders must be a minimum width of 1 inch (2.5cm). Strapless, off-the-shoulder and one shoulder items are also banned. Shorts of any kind are not permitted. But having been included in the dress code since 1971, trouser suits remain a popular choice - although they mustn't be mismatched. From 2017 onwards, jumpsuits have also been accepted as Ascot worthy, while men must stick to black dress shoes worn with ankle socks, but there are no footwear specifications for women.
