Chanelle Hayes - who first rose to fame on Big Brother in 2007 when she was just 19 years old - tied the knot but admitted she had to skip a traditional wedding meal.The star, now 36, previously had a gastric sleeve fitted and lost around eight stone, dropping from a dress size 18 to a 10 in 2020.This meant that she opted for something slightly different on her big day with new husband Dan Bingham.
In fact, instead of a starter, main and dessert, Chanelle decided on serving just one of their favourite dishes.The mum of two explained: "Because of my gastric sleeve, I can’t really eat a big meal any more.
I didn’t want to have a three-course dinner, I would have been bored. "So we decided to have a later ceremony – at 4pm – and served canapes, followed by our favourite dish… pie, mash and peas!
Then we had a huge dessert table and singing waiters.They kicked the party off with Robbie Williams’ Let Me Entertain You."
