It seems I’m A Celebrity star Melvin Odoom has revealed he’s landed a ‘date’ with his celeb crush Carol Vorderman!
During his time in the ITV jungle Down Under last year, Melvin surprised his fellow celeb campmates by admitting he has a soft spot for the former Countdown star.
Choosing a pillow with Carol’s face on as his luxury item, he gushed in the Bush Telegraph at the time: “I have been a fan of Carol Vorderman for a very long time. In fact, I have a little rap.”
He continued: “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.”

As it turned out, Carol did message the Radio 1 DJ, replying with a voice note. Her cheeky move included a joke that he’d soon be taking on her surname!
“Melvin… or should I say jungle man, Melvin Vorderman,” she said. “Right, question, have you been spying on me? Because only last night I had little Thai food.”
Carol then added: “Jungle man, keep doing what you are doing. You’re doing a brilliant job. See you on other side.”
‘Call me, Carol’
Since then, Melvin has mentioned Carol on social media again. When showing off his trim figure after losing a stone on I’m A Celeb, he included a reference to Cazza in his hashtag.
“Lost some pounds, gained some abs. Highly recommend the rice and beans jungle diet. For anyone that’s asking I went from 71KG to 64KG. #imaceleb #callmecarol,” he typed at the time.
However, it seems they have now been able to meet up in person.
Sharing a snap of them together with his 238,000 Instagram followers yesterday (Sunday March 9), Melvin captioned his upload: “Dreamed it then real lifed it.” He also added a red heart emoji to his words.
Carol also reshared Melvin’s post as a Story – but neither confirmed or denied whether they were having a little banter with their followers or not.
