Celebrity MasterChef star, Dawn O’Porter and Hollywood actor, Chris O’Dowd, got married in 2012 after the actor told his wife-to-be he loved her in a kebab shop
Dawn O’Porter has revealed the cheeky tattoo she got for her husband, Chris O’Dowd, after he told her he loved her for the first time.
The Celebrity MasterChef star, 46, tied the knot with Hollywood actor, Chris, also 46, in 2012 in a three-day wedding fest after he told the TV presenter she was the one for him in a kebab shop called Munchies.
Paying tribute to the milestone moment, Dawn had the name of the fast food joint tattooed on her bottom – which proudly displays the word ‘Munchies’ to this day. She revealed the sweet tribute – which she got a week before her wedding – as she whipped up a kebab, complete with marinated chicken, pineapple, bread, and garlic sauce on Tuesday night’s episode of Celebrity MasterChef.

While 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 her kebab was cooked, John complimented Dawn on 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.”
The Scottish star, who shares two kids with Chris, has now bagged a place in the final after singer, Alfie Boe, left on Tuesday. Alfie was eliminated from the show – 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 – which boasted ginger and cinnamon poached apricots – which was a tribute to his dad, Alfred, who died in 1997.
