KIRK Norcross has paid tribute to his late dad, Mick, 15 months after his sad death last year.
The former Towie star, 33, smashed his way into 57-year-old Mick’s home last January after reading a worrying tweet and found him dead after taking his own life in his wine cellar.
Kirk has previously opened about his own mental health struggles and numbed his pain with drugs following Mick’s death, subsequently being diagnosed with PTSD.
But now the TV star has decided to remember his dad in the most touching way, with a tattoo on his arm.
Kirk showed off his new ink on his upper right arm and explained how the large anchor represented the impact his dad continues to have on his life.
A shaded banner around the anchor reads “dad” and the date of his passing, “21-1-21.”

Sharing a photo of the tattoo to his Instagram, Kirk explained its signifigance.
“FOR YOU DAD!!! You are my anchor! You keep me still during the roughest storms in life!! Until we meet again Dad miss you 
,” Kirk wrote.
Kirk gave his first TV since his father’s death in January this year.
Talking to the Loose Women panellists, Kirk explained that he has suffered from depression and PTSD since the death of his dad, as he opened flashbacks of the moment he found him.
Kirk said it has been “the quickest year and the slowest year ever”.
Kirk went on to explain how he cannot stress it enough for people to open up about how they feel and “talk to people”.
“I live next to my father. I was with him the night before and he was fine. He gave me his next business strategy.
“Then the next afternoon he killed himself. I was indoors having my lunch and I got a call from my dad’s partner saying she couldn’t find him.
“I don’t know why but I knew what had happened.”
Struggling to hold the tears back as he described smashing the door of his father’s house to find him hanged.
