Elijah Wood has apparently angered his fellow Lord of the Rings actors by showing a secret tattoo on TV.

Wood and the eight other actors who made up 'the fellowship' in the movies all had the elvish word for 'Nine' tattooed on their hips, making a pact never to show them to the media.

It seems that Wood, who plays hobbit Frodo in the epic, forgot about the agreement when he appeared on US showbiz news show Access Hollywood at the weekend, baring all for the audience.

Costar Billy Boyd "fumed" to Channel 4: "We made a rule that we'd never show the tattoo on camera."

Orlando Bloom, aka Legolas, added: "He shouldn't have done that. I guess it just slipped his mind."
