Celebrity MasterChef's Dawn O'Porter has cheeky tattoo that she got for husband Chris O'Dowd
Celebrity MasterChef contestant Dawn O'Porter gifted her Hollywood actor husband Chris O'Dowd a tattoo for their wedding, which pays tribute to their relationship.
Celebrity MasterChef star Dawn O’Porter has the name of the kebab shop where her husband Chris O'Dowd first declared his love for her tattooed on her bum.
The 46-year-old broadcaster got "Munchies" inked on her backside a week before she married the 46-year-old actor - whom she tied the knot with in 2012 in a three-day WedFest ceremony in London - as a wedding gift.
Dawn revealed the sweet - and cheeky - tribute as she whipped up a kebab, complete with marinated chicken and lamb, pineapple, bread, and garlic sauce on Tuesday night's (16.12.25) episode of Celebrity MasterChef.
Whilst making her "happy" food, the star - who has reached the final three stage of the BBC cooking show - told hosts John Torode, 60, and 52 year old Grace Dent: "Delicious food is delicious food.
"I’m dedicating this to my husband Chris, who first told me he loved me in a kebab shop. We sat in there and ate this kebab and drank champagne out of a blue plastic bag, and it obviously changed my life.
"For Chris’ wedding present, I got a tattoo of the name Munchies on my bottom because that was the name of the shop. So I got it done a week before the wedding, and I had to hide it the whole week.”
John and Grace were stunned by the revelation from Dawn - who decided against taking Chris' full Irish surname, and instead got an 'O' before her maiden name.
Dawn also got a small 'O' inked onto her right hand as a tribute to the letter in the Bridesmaids star's surname.
After the kebab was cooked, John complimented the "fantastic” meat and “fluffy” bread, and Grace declared it "fabulous".
Following the hosts' feedback, Dawn said: "I think Chris will have loved all that. I think he’ll feel very well represented and loved."
Later in the episode, singer Alfie Boe, 52, was eliminated from Celebrity MasterChef - meaning either Dawn, retired rugby player Alun Wyn Jones, 40, or RuPaul's Drag Race UK series 5 winner Ginger Johnson, 37, will be crowned this series' winner.
After his exit was confirmed, Alfie said: "This has been quite precious. These moments in life that come about are really special. I’m happy to be going home as a Celebrity MasterChef finalist."
The tenor left the show after underwhelming the judges with his "eggy" Belgian Le Miserable cake - featuring ginger and cinnamon poached apricots - which was a tribute to his dad Alfred, who died in 1997.
