Tom Grennan undergoes painful neck tattoo removal after singer showed off his crazy 'Christmas number 1' inking amid hopes to beat WHAM! to the top of the UK singles chart

He's never been afraid to throw caution to the wind with his array of quirky inkings. 

And while Tom Grennan recently showcased his crazy 'Christmas number 1' tattoo as he stays hopeful to beat WHAM! to the festive charts' top spot, the singer is in the process of having another one of his inkings removed. 

The star is currently in the painful process of getting his backwards question mark tattoo removed from his Adam's apple. 

In snaps from back in 2022, the body art can clearly be seen on Tom's neck, however in more recent pictures it has been removed. 

A source told The Sun: 'He didn’t like it any more.'

MailOnline have contacted Tom's representatives for comment.

Yet the tattoo removal process hasn't stopped the star from getting more tattoos in light of his festive song It Can't Be Christmas, for Amazon's latest advert. 

Taking to his Instagram on Sunday, the singer showed his confidence in his new hit as he got a tattoo to mark the potential occasion on his right leg. 

The performer then begged his fans to let his move 'flop' and get listening to his latest release. 

Sharing a reel to his Instagram, Tom said: 'I thought I'd make it interesting. I'm going to get 'Christmas no.1 2024 is…' and I'm gonna let you lot decide what goes on my leg. It's up to you. Stream it, buy the vinyl. We'll see what happens. You lot, do not let this flop.'

The footage of Tom getting the tattoo done was sound tracked by It Can't Be Christmas' lyrics 'Have I gone stupid? Maybe. Have I gone mad? Someone save me.' The Christmas Number 1 reveal on Friday will be the judge!'

Tom’s It Can’t Be Christmas is one of Amazon Music’s new festive releases for 2024. 

The song first entered the Top 40 two weeks ago reaching Number 25, before climbing to Number 6 on last Friday’s chart. 

The move marks the performer's comeback and he could be successful as last year's Amazon song reached number two.

Tom will be hoping to beat Amazon's previous star Sam Ryder's tune You're Christmas To Me. 

Amazon has had a strong of successful Christmas marketing campaign featuring UK-based pop stars.

In 2019, Ellie Goulding's cover of Joni Mitchell's River, topped the charts.

And the shopping giant has a secret weapon up its sleeve.

They plan to paly it to all customers who have Alexa devices meaning streams will go through the roof.

And this is not the first time Tom and Amazon have teamed up.

The online shopping platform will be hoping they will have another success on their hands following the viral success of Tom's Gillette song, The Best A Man Can Get.

The jingle has now proved so popular that the performer includes it in his gig setlists.

A source told the publication: 'Tom and Amazon signed their deal last month for him to be the voice of their big Christmas ad campaign.

'As with Gillette, Tom is recording a song for the adverts, which fans will be able to hear when they kick off the campaign.

'It's really catchy and will definitely become an ear worm for anyone who listens to it.'

They added that Amazon has been trying to sign up as many stars as possible to boost its adverts and is confident that this year they'll reach number one.   

The professional highs have come with some personal difficulties for Tom who recently opened up about his ADHD diagnosis.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. 

Speaking on Russell Howard's Wonderbox podcast, which releases Wednesday, Tom said he has been working with famed producer Justin Tranter, who has worked with Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber.

About his new album, Tom shared: 'I've been in the US writing my new album and it's been amazing. We've gone deep. It's about my struggle with different aspects of my life, whether it's alcohol or drugs. I've opened up about my life, from being a kid to now, family and relationships.'

In June, Tom admitted he found himself in a 'sinking hole' as he opened up about his mental health.

The hitmaker, who has always been candid about his struggles, told how he began to write music as a way of expressing his feelings.

Speaking to broadcaster Roman Kemp for mental health charity YoungMinds, Tom said: 'Something dramatically happened to me where I just found myself in this sinking hole.

'I couldn't get out of bed, I thought the whole world was against me. I thought I wasn't good enough, I never had been somebody who would talk about my feelings, especially to my friends and not to my parents, either.

'So then I started to just write little notes in a notepad and then picked up a guitar.'
