Robbie Williams is known to have a lot of tattoos, but there's one in particular that stands out.
If you watch the Take That star on TV or at his live shows, you'll notice a familiar image on his neck.
Robbie has a tattoo of the famous Two Ronnies logo below his left ear. But why?
The 'Angels' singer got the tattoo back in February 2016, a few weeks before Ronnie Corbett passed away.
After Sir Ronnie's death, Robbie tweeted: "Ronnie Corbett: You inspired me at a very young age. THANK YOU. You’ll always be with me."
