Channel Nine star shows off new tattoo before AFL Grand Final in Melbourne

Christine Ahern, a Channel Nine reporter, surprised viewers during a live broadcast by announcing her plans to get an AFL-themed tattoo ahead of the AFL Grand Final in Melbourne. This event, featuring the Brisbane Lions and the Sydney Swans, is set to take place at the MCG on Saturday. During the segment, Christine interacted with a fan named Gemma, who had already committed to a Swans tattoo, which sparked Christine's decision to also get inked. As she revealed her intentions, Christine showcased a stencil of a Brisbane Lions tattoo on her wrist, which left her co-hosts in disbelief. While Sarah Abo expressed concern and begged Christine not to go through with it, Karl Stefanovic supported her decision enthusiastically. The live broadcast captured Christine preparing for the tattoo, indicating her excitement and commitment to the sport. Despite the anticipation, it appears that Christine did not actually get the tattoo, as her social media posts only displayed the stencil. This playful moment added to the excitement surrounding the AFL Grand Final, which is expected to draw thousands of fans to Melbourne. In addition to the sporting event, the pre-match entertainment lineup includes performances by Katy Perry and Cody Simpson, with Tina Arena also set to perform. The organizers aim to create memorable moments, following last year's iconic performance by Delta Goodrem and Robbie Williams. The event promises to be a highlight in the AFL calendar, combining sports and entertainment.
