TV chef Heston Blumenthal, 56, marries for the third time to girlfriend, 36, in France

Heston Blumenthal has married for a third time.

The celebrity chef, 56, married his 36-year-old girlfriend Melaine Ceysson in France over the weekend.

The Michelin-starred chef, who once served lickable wallpaper that tasted of tomato soup and prawn cocktail, is best known for his innovative style of cooking.

He runs The Fat Duck restaurant and found fame on TV shows including Heston's Feasts on Channel 4 and Crazy Delicious on Netflix.

Heston married his third wife in a village in Provence France surrounded by friends and family.

They wed at the village's wedding hall and Melanie wore a classic white wedding dress designed by Emilia Wickstead.

The groom wore a green suit by Issey Miyake and wore his signature thick-framed black glasses.

They held a reception for 60 guests including Heston's chef pals Raymond Blanc and Great British Menu judge Matthew Fort.

Guests were served a number of Heston's signature restaurant dishes including jelly of oyster and meat fruit, triple-cooked chips, Scotch eggs and decorated the tables with edible candles according to the MailOnline.

The culinary trailblazer has three children with his ex-wife Zanna; Zack, 25, Jessie, 22, and Joy, 20. He welcomed his youngest with Stephanie in 2018.

In recent years, Heston has stayed out of the spotlight, moving to France after he "had enough of cooking."

In an interview with the Times in October, he spoke about feeling lonely at the height of his success, and praised ex-wife Zanna.

He said: “Certainly, my ex-wife was a huge reason for the success of the Duck… Someone had to take the kids to school and do all that work and look after the house, because I was never there.”

Although Heston has stayed away from our TV screens in recent years, his experimental dishes still make the headlines.

Last month, the chef outraged Christmas shoppers as he tried to sell mince pies with a bizarre twist. Known for his weird and whacky twists on classic foods, some fans thought his latest creation took his ideas a step too far.

The chef created a festive mince pie with a bizarre twist as it was made of a three-cheese pastry and filled with pear and fig mincemeat.
