Petite blonde orders a 5,000 calorie 'Smithy takeaway in honour of Gavin and Stacey and devours t
A PETITE blonde has devoured over 5,000 calories worth of
curry after being inspired by Gavin and Stacey.
Competitive eater Kate Ovens, 25, decided to honour her
favourite TV programme by ordering – and eating – the exact same Indian
takeaway as Smith (James Cordon.)
In the 2010 episode Smithy famously orders a chicken, lamb,
and prawn bhuna, with sides of mushroom rice, chips, keema naan and nine poppadoms,
followed by a saag aloo.
And size 10 Kate was eager to take on the challenge,
ordering the exact same dinner for herself, costing her £31.06 and a total of 5,098
calories – and amazingly she devours the whole thing.
She shared her conquest on her YouTube channel where she boasts 61,000 subscribers.
Speaking in the video Kate says: “I’m a huge Gavin and
Stacey fan, I loved the series and I am so excited for the Christmas special to
come out.

Prawn bhuna = 840 calories
Mushroom rice = 380 calories
Chips = 624 calories
Keema naan = 850 calories
Saag aloo = 308 calories
Total = 5,098

“So in honour of my love for Gavin and Stacey I thought I
would attempt Smithy’s challenge – it’s what Smithy orders in the programme.”
Hungry Kate wastes no time tucking in, before encouraging
her followers to tag the actor himself as it would be her “dream” for him to
see it.
While Kate did struggle with the nine poppadoms she was able to completely clear her plate,
ending her final forkful by saying “James Cordon if you’re watching this,
cheers.”
She later returns to finish the saag aloo that Smithy
eventually tags on to his normal order.
The video has thus far received over a thousand views since
it was uploaded this morning, with her followers left seriously impressed by
her efforts.
One wrote: “That was crazy! So much starch, but looked
delicious at the same time!”
Another added: “Another wicked video kate, you're still my
favourite eater on YouTube.”
And a third added: “well done smashed it.”
