Des O’Connors Takes One From Down Under
WHEN we first see the names “DES AND JODIE O’CONNOR”, and hear of their marriage we fear we are either in an urban myth, a rural part of Norfolk or watching another bulletin from the Human Fertility and Embryology Bill.
(A pair of twins who were adopted by separate families as babies got married without knowing they were brother and sister.)
Des and Jodie O’Connor already share a surname. Surely they have noticed. They might be brother and sister, although Des is 76 and his wife Jodie 38, so perhaps father and daughter?
But it’s too late to shout “STOP!”, the marriage has already occurred. And we learn that the wedding took place last September. It turns out that the O’Connors are related by marriage. To each other!
What we are looking at is their second marriage. To each other. And another chance for Jodie to wear white, Des to top up his tan and Des and Jodie to give full throat to There Will Be A Wedding, the song they wrote together.
Thankfully, the food was not four months old and the red snapper, kingfish, lamb and dessert of dark chocolate bavarois was as fresh as Des’s underwear and twice as sharp.
It turns out that food is important to the O’Connors. Des recalls meeting Jodie “about 18 and a half years ago”. A few months later he bumped into Jodie in a club “and asked her out to dinner”.
Des does not say what they at, but: “We’ve been having dinner ever since”…
Dinner for breakfast… Dinner for lunch… Dinner for bed…
