Ellie Harrison – who presents BBC One show Countryfile – has revealed that she had her arm scarred with a blade to show her commitment to her partner.

The television personality, who has been with doctor Matt Goodman for 12 years, told The Mail on Sunday that she now has a line of 10 circular marks on her left forearm.

“It’s called scarification,” she said. “You go to someone who is into body art and you get it done. There are only a few places you can go for it in the whole country.

“They’re done with a blade.”
