Nice ink! Natalie Cassidy shows off her first tattoo after having daughter Eliza's initials etched on her wrist

She's never come across as the most rebellious of celebrities.

But earlier this month Natalie Cassidy debuted her very first tattoo, after having her daughter Eliza's initials etched on her wrist.

The 28-year-old actress showed off her new inking, which appeared to be a capital E and C surrounded by musical notes and hearts, as she stepped out this morning near her Hertfordshire home.

Last month, Natalie was spotted beaming as she emerged from the tattoo parlour after being in there for over an hour.

The former EastEnders star, who said the tattoo didn't hurt 'as much' as she had
expected it to, also displayed her slender figure in a tight pair of black jeans and heart-print top after being inked.

Natalie has dropped a remarkable three stone since parting ways from fiancé Adam Cottrell in May - and looks keen to keep off the weight.

Rising stress levels left the newly-single Strictly Come Dancing contestant unable to sleep or eat and her weight plummeted to 9st 2lb.

But taking control again, she has stabilised herself at a healthy 9st 7lb.

Natalie said at the time: ‘I have been a size six, I’ve been a size 16 – bordering on an 18.

'But I am a size 10 now, and I feel that I am the weight I should be.’

The pair were due to marry last year following the birth of Eliza, but Cassidy called off the ceremony after a huge bust-up.

Cottrell later pleaded guilty to assault and criminal damage and now has a restraining order under his name.

District Judge Ian Baker banned him from driving for 18 months and sentenced him to a 12-month community order with 60 hours' unpaid work.

Cottrell was also fined £100 for possession of cocaine and was ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
