ok.co.uk:

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." Chanelle previously opened up about her gastric sleeve surgery, which she said was in a bid to treat her food addiction.The reality star explained she has struggled with her weight since she shot to fame on Big Brother, but finally feels that she has taken back control of her body after opting for the drastic procedure.
