That combination has been around for some time based on contractors living on the cheap. Pot noodle provides the meal and the wink is entertainment often quoted as "a contractors night in". HTH.
See Charles Dickins: "Will you be joining us at the Dog and Duck this evening Pip? No sir, I was planning a contractors night in."

Very interesting. I didn't know that.
I know that I have been 'amusingly' describing my weekend activities as 'having a Pot Noodle and a wink' for some time.

It's a quote from Chris Finch in The Office:
"Bump into the mate whose bird I've done... He says, 'Finchy, you look knackered,' and I'm thinking yeah, and you look like you've had a pot-noodle and a wink, mate."
Series 1, Episode 5, part 4, apparently
