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."

Robbie Williams has at least 30 body tattoos, including:

• an image of an Ace of Spades in tribute to Motörhead
• a Tommy Cooper-style Fez hat
• the logo of The Saint in tribute to Sir Roger Moore
• the 'skip dance' pose of Morecambe and Wise
