We’ve heard of a bucket list – and thank goodness Cheryl Cole didn’t have the need to create one of those – but never a f**k it list.

But after falling seriously ill with malaria in 2010 Cheryl created her very own 'eff it' list setting out all the things that she wanted to do that she might not of had the guts to do before.

And on that list was her much-discussed rose tattoo. You know the one, it’s the huge tat that covers her butt and lower back.

Yeah. That one.
Yeah. That one.

"After I had malaria I created a 'f**k it list' because life's too short and the tattoo was on the list," Chez tells Graham Norton on his chat show tonight.

Cheryl then revealed that the inking was not cheap either. "He's [Nikko Hurtado – the tattooist] an exceptional artist and he was worth it... It was in the £1,000s, probably the cost of a small car."

We couldn’t care less what Cheryl gets permanently marked onto her skin, but – and call us crazy – we’d rather have a car than a tattoo.
