Carol Vorderman, 65, Shows Off Smooth Look with Melvin Odoom, 44, After He Calls Her His Crush

Carol Vorderman showed off her very smooth visage as she reunited with Melvin Odoom for the first since he admitted he had a crush on her on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Carol, 65, and Melvin, 44, were in the studio together for the return of the Channel 5 show Celebrity Puzzling, on which they were joined by Jeremy Vine and actress Sally Lindsay.

It marked the first time the pair had met up since they sent fans into a frenzy as Carol appeared flattered to hear she was Melvin’s Showbiz crush late last year.

And they seemed elated to be reuniting as Carol shared pictures of her and Melvin, 20 years her junior, cosying up together on-set.

In one, Carol – who displayed her smooth complexion and incredible curves in leather trousers – locked arms with her co-presenter as they posed for a snap.

The pair also beamed for a selfie together as Carol, sporting a red lipstick look, rested her head on Melvin’s.

In a video posted to Carol’s Instagram, the flirty tension between the duo was obvious as the presenter teased: ‘Guess who I’m with,’ before Melvin quickly replied: ‘It’s happened – best day ever.’

The 65-year-old – who’s been a regular on our TV screens for more than four decades – described Melvin as a ‘very special guy’ in her caption.

She penned: ‘Reunited with a very special guy this evening… my jungle man @melvinodoom! This was definitely what I call a fun day at work!

‘Tune in to see if we can beat team @sallylindsay tonight on #CelebrityPuzzling! Will we come out on top or is it going to be another hilarious showdown?’

In the comments section, a clearly smug Melvin replied: ‘Life is good (heart emoji)’

Melvin, who appeared on the most recent season of I’m A Celeb, shocked his campmates when he chose to have a pillow with Carol’s face on it as his luxury item.

After it arrived, Melvin explained why the former Countdown star earned a spot on his pillow, saying: ‘My dad, my mum and Carol Vorderman. My crush.’

‘I have been a fan of Carol Vorderman for a very long time – in fact, I have a little rap.’

He then recited: ‘I know a woman so fine, she’s mature like a fine wine. The mandem can’t comprehend my 10 out of 10 Carol Vorderman, woo. I wanna work her out, check your DMs girl and I’ll be waiting.’

Carol, who had been keeping up with the show, was quick to respond and sent him a message by calling into spin off show I’m a Celebrity… Unpacked.

She said: ‘Melvin… or should I say jungle man, Melvin Vorderman. Right, question, have you been spying on me? Because only last night I had little Thai food…’

She then added: ‘Jungle man, keep doing what you are doing, you’re doing a brilliant job. see you on other side.’

Then, after leaving the jungle, Melvin couldn’t help but to DM Carol on Instagram – but revealed during an appearance on GK Barry’s Saving Grace podcast that the much-loved presenter ghosted him.

‘You lot were pressuring me so much in the Jungle, so when I got home, I sent Carol a DM as the people who were looking after my page said she was a great support while I was in there,’ he said.

‘It just said here’s my number, give me a call. But she’s still not read it. It’s been three weeks. I still check it once a week to see!’

The pair at last met up on Wednesday, around six months after Melvin left the jungle, for the third episode of Celebrity Puzzling after the show recently made a return.

The new series, which consists of eight episodes airing every weekday, sees a different star join the teams each week to tackle a variety of puzzles and problems.

After the show’s return was announced, Carol revealed she was ‘so excited’ to be named as a team caption last month.

‘Finally, all those years of loving numbers, words and brainteasers are about to pay off! Well, I hope that they are,’ she said.

‘Joining forces with my brilliant and really good mate Sally Lindsay, and with the ever-clever Jeremy Vine keeping us all in line, it’s going to be a battle of brains… and I’m going to be fighting all the way, of course!’

Celebrity Puzzling first hit screens last year and was hosted by Lucy Worsley before being shelved.
