Centra has made a giant special delivery to Niall Horan as part of his homecoming gigs in Dublin this week.
The Dinner Party crooner and former One Direction man began his mammoth four-night run in Dublin’s 3Arena earlier this week, before he heads to the O2 in Belfast.
Of course, since Niall is back in Ireland, he might want to take in some local cuisine — and Centra decided to bring a plate to Niall’s Dinner Party, and then some: a giant chicken fillet roll.
Enlisting the help of TV chef Daniel Lambert, the folks at Centra’s Parnell Street location made the giant roll with an abundance of spicy chicken fillets, cheese, sweet corn, lettuce — Niall’s favourite, after he previously admitted that it’s a taste of home he misses most — and what we can only assume was the entire bottle of sauce.
The two-metre roll — or monstrosity, depending on how you look at the size of the roll — was carried out by the two lads who then headed to the 3Arena to gift it to the Mullingar singer.
While it wasn’t confirmed if Niall got the giant roll, people were still impressed at the sheer scale of it, as one commented: ‘Just your average 2 metre long chicken fillet roll!!’
‘Incredible,’ another wrote, while another added: ‘@ChefDanielLambert is the only person I’d trust making me a chicken fillet roll.’
Niall performed night one and two at the 3Arena on Monday and Tuesday night, and will close out his stint in the arena with two more gigs on Thursday (November 12) and Friday (November 13).
While Niall was emotional enough as is during night one in the 3Arena on Monday, he was surprised to see his third-class teacher in the crowd — without whom, we mightn’t have ever gotten Niall Horan or One Direction.
‘Oh my God, I’ve just spotted my third-class teacher, Mrs Anne Caufield,’ he told the crowd as she smiled back up at him.
‘Anne is the reason I started singing … She gave me my first solo part in Away in a Manger, when I was about five or six years old,’ he said.
‘She then gave me the part of Oliver in the play Oliver Twist. To be fair there was a bit of bias because I was in your class. You could have picked your son to be fair.
‘She really is the reason I started doing all of this, give it for Anne, come on.’ The crowd then erupted in applause for the teacher.
