It’s lucky 13 for Daniel and
Majella
04.11.15
A ROMANTIC rumba could
be on the cards for Daniel and Majella O'Donnell
today as they celebrate their
13th wedding anniversary.
The golden couple will mark their marriage milestone
as they relax at their Canary Islands holiday home
after a "hectic" few weeks in Ireland and the UK
where Daniel took part in Strictly Come Dancing.
He was the third celebrity to be voted off the
competition but says he was delighted to become a
better dancer during the gruelling process.
Today’s anniversary will be a first for Daniel (53)
and Majella (55) since their November 2002 wedding
as they celebrate at home without the demands of the
singer's touring schedule. Daniel’s sabbatical from
touring continues until August 2016.
"It is the first time since we got married that we
have actually been off and not travelling," he said.
Meanwhile, Daniel is celebrating on the double after
his new album 'The Hank Williams Songbook' debuted
high in the British charts last week.
"It went in at Number 5 in the UK charts making this
the 28th year in succession that I have had an album
in the charts there.
"I’m delighted to say that it has entered the charts
in every other country it has been released in too,"
the singer told fans via his official website
yesterday. |

And in a recent BBC
radio interview to publicise the new album, Daniel
also remarked that he and Majella are very fortunate
to enjoy financial security at this stage of their
lives.
Recent accounts showed that accumulated profits at
the singer's entertainment company topped almost €3
million last year.
Meanwhile, the ‘Danjella’ brand continues to
flourish. The singer said they "can't believe" the
huge reaction they’re getting to their new B&B
travel show on UTV Ireland.
"All we wanted was that you would enjoy it as much
as we did and I think you are," he added.
The couple are now looking forward to being joined
at their holiday villa next week by three-month old
grand-daughter Olivia and her mum and dad Siobhan
and Gavin.
Daniel said he is "really glad of the rest" after
the past six weeks which were “so hectic and so
exciting”. |
