KEELY HODGKINSON has revealed the shock number of body piercings she has.
However, the Olympics star admitted she does not wear them all these days.
Hodgkinson was one of Team GB’s standout performers at the Paris Games earlier this summer.
The 22-year-old claimed gold in the 800m at the Stade de France to add to her silver in Tokyo three years ago.
She has since been ruled out for the rest of the year due to injury, but has maintained a busy lifestyle.
Whilst killing time on a flight on Friday, Hodgkinson prompted fans for questions during an Instagram Q&A with her 521,000 followers.

After being asked if she has any piercings, the runner replied: “I don’t wear them all now but I have had over 15 piercings!!”
The Q&A also saw Hodgkinson reveal she wanted to go into the army as a 16-year-old before her rise to the top of athletics.
Meanwhile, she told fans her parents were her role models growing up and she plans to race the 1500m again one day.
Away from athletics, Hodgkinson was also asked about her beloved Manchester United.

She explained that David Beckham is her favourite United player of all-time as she showed off a snap from a recent Old Trafford visit.
Hodgkinson’s gold in Paris added to a pair of World Championship silver medals from 2022 and 2023.
Her golden celebrations later saw the Brit jet off to Marbella on holiday as she opted against attending the Closing Ceremony.
Despite her injury lay-off, though, Hodgkinson has already been challenged to a race upon her return.
Dutch hurdler Femke Bol has offered her the chance to face-off over 600m in the future.
Bol won three medals in Paris, including gold in the 4x400m mixed relay.
