I’m A Celebrity star says Carol Vorderman owes Melvin Odoom a date after jungle flirting

Carol Vorderman allegedly owes Melvin Odoom a date, according to Nicola McLean of The Mirror’s I’m a Celebrity column.

After receiving his lavish pillow, which bears Carol’s image, Radio DJ Melvin, 44, admitted to having a soft spot for the 63-year-old math whizz on the ITV reality show. He later revealed his secret crush to his campmates. After stepping out of the harsh Aussie wilderness as the fourth celeb to leave for 18 days, Melvin admitted he was desperate for a date with her and regrettably described how bashful he was at the Pride of Britain Awards in October.

Former I’m A Celeb star Nicola says the duo “should probably go on a date” after watching everything unfold, adding that “she owes that to him.” She claimed to The Mirror that she owes him the air time because she was that he was mentioned on I’m A Celebrity and that she was not even in the camp.

She ought to go out with him without a doubt. He’s so cute as well. They’d be lovely together. It comes after Melvin revealed Carol had congratulated him on his exit from the show by sliding into his DMs.

He expressed his excitement by checking his messages in the video, which he said he had just returned from his phone before entering the camp, saying, “I’m about to check my DMs. I’ve spotted a message from Vorders herself. Let’s see what it says. “

Over breakfast at their hotel, his companion Jane Moore jokingly anticipated the contents with a cheeky guess at” Get lost, loser, “to which Melvin laughingly responded:” No, no, no, “before sharing the message Carol sent to the person managing his account:” Please give him my best.

Melvin inquired about taking her to a restaurant in Thailand, and she responded with her playful banter. The show’s hot topic was continued to be Melvin’s adorable love interest with Carol.

Love Island’s Kady McDermott back with reality star ex after accusing him of cheating

Kady McDermott, a two-time Love Island star, reportedly dating her reality partner after he allegedly cheated on her.

The 29-year-old, who rose to fame in the 2016 series of the ITV2 programme, started dating multi-millionaire Henry Simmons in September this year. When she shared photos from her trip to St Tropez, she made hints about the relationship. The couple then made their London-based debut on the red carpet.

However, it wasn’t long before she took a hit at him on social media. She announced she was single and that you ‘ can’t change bad morals’. She stated to her fans on TikTok that she discovered two women leaving his house on Saturday morning while he was wearing his boxers. I’m definitely not the problem”.

On social media, she also made a sharp remark to his fans, saying, “If any of you see me with a man again, just know that I was held hostage because I am already DONE with them all.” No matter how good you are to someone you can’t change their bad morals unfortunately. Onwards and upwards”.

She shared a photo of herself in a Ferrari with an emblazoned orange interior and his initials on the seats, which appears to have forgiven him now. She wore a brown blazer, black leggings, and a crop top in the photo. She covered her face as she held up a few boxes of Domino’s pizzas. She’s representatives have contacted The Mirror for comment.

She returned last year for a second chance at love despite leaving the Love Island villa about ten years ago. The relationship between the star and Scottish footballer Ouzy See was so unsuccessful outside the villa. Kady announced the breakup just two days after the pair had a rousing Aftersun reunion special and denied having a secret boyfriend who had been living in the UK all along.

Kady and Ouzy have made abundantly clear that Ouzy’s split was due to the Scottish footballer’s disinterest in the two-time Love Island bombshell. After Ouzy allegedly met another girl in the UK, who he knew before appearing on the ITV2 show, the two broke up.

He met the stunning brunette for the first time in a year and spent two nights with her shortly after putting on a showmance with Kady. Up until he entered the villa, he was constantly messaging and calling her, according to a source at the time.

Helen Flanagan says she will never understand troll mentality as she hits back at one critic

Heather Flanagan has reacted to social media trolls who made fun of her pouty lips.

The 34-year-old former Coronation Street star was feeling self-conscious over the weekend as she made plans to travel across the Mississippi from Manchester. However, cruel trolls attacked her puffy lips by accusing her of putting too much filler in her pout as she uploaded a video of herself getting ready for a night out on Instagram.

Helen shared her clip with the caption “Christmas do in Liverpool so let’s go glam” and the drama started. Vicious comments almost immediately followed, with one follower writing in response: “What’s happened to her mouth”. And another typed: “your lip liner looks alittle strange? Like smudged”? – before adding to Helen that she “looked stunning”.

Another enraged fan, who wrote, “You’re a beautiful looking woman but your lips look too big & your top is a size too small!, you’re literally busting out of it & not in a good way”! Not taking the comments, Helen bit back to slam those questioning her appearance.

The soap icon, who has played Rosie Webster on ITV’s Coronation Street since 2000, wrote beneath her reel, “I never understand why people can be so mean x it doesn’t actually matter how someone looks, but if you’ve got a good heart your beautiful anyway,”

Helen has defended her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in an effort to boost her confidence. She has been a fair bit of an open-mouth person about this. She mentioned having a boob job in early 2022, revealing in a sincere online post that she was “quite open about my recent boob job.” I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time, and by doing so, I’ve really gained my confidence back.

” I breastfed in total for three years. Matilda I fed for eight months. Delilah I fed for 13 months. Charlie I fed for 14 months. I wanted to finish my breastfeeding journey with Charlie pretty quickly so I could finish them. You might tie them in a bow, I thought. After giving birth, I had to wait six months before attempting it in January. I have to say that my breastfeeding journeys were precious. They are so inexplicably big for my frame, which was a little bit scary for me.

And plugging her surgeon, she added:” I went with @pallmallcosmetics and couldn’t be happier with my results I love them I keep showing all my girlfriends. I’m all for having body confidence, and I’m all for supporting other women when they make their own decisions.

And yet another time, she explained that she received Botox in 2019 in an effort to look younger and gain confidence after the birth of her second child. She stated online that she wanted to feel more self-assured and fresh after having Delilah. I would take pictures with the kids on my phone, and I would be shocked at how old I looked. In reality, I still feel like I’m 20. I’m so happy with my Botox, and it’s a good idea if you’re like me and still want to look 23.

EastEnders legend’s daughter looks double of her famous mum as she celebrates her birthday

A “nepo baby” has just celebrated her 20th birthday, with her famous mother, Charlie Brooks, sharing a heartfelt message on social media.

Kiki Truman, an actress known for her roles in The Kennedys (2015) and The Dumping Ground (2013), is the daughter of Charlie, best known for her role as Janine Butcher on EastEnders. While Charlie is getting ready for the new season of Dancing On Ice, Kiki, the only child of the soap star, celebrated her milestone birthday.

Charlie first appeared on EastEnders in 1999 as Janine, left in 2004, and returned for multiple stints, including a significant storyline starting in 2021. Janine’s marriage to Barry Evans ended with her pushing him for his money off a cliff, which was one of her most notorious encounters.

Charlie posted a number of photos of her daughter on Instagram yesterday. She captioned the post: “20 years ago today I birthed this wild thing @kikitruman. I’m so pleased that the frontal lobe is forming. What an adventure. Thank you for choosing me to be ya mamma, and your dad @tonytrumanibiza. We are here to help you out the most, and we are truly in love with you. Happy birthday baby”.

Fans expressed admiration for Kiki’s resemblance to her mother in the comments. One wrote: “That last pic she is the spit of you”! Illustrator Cat Sims quipped: “It’s almost like Tony’s genes didn’t even try! She’s SOOOO like you”. Ferne McCann, who is also competing on this year’s Dancing on Ice alongside Charlie, left a comment saying: “She’s your double Charlie. Happy birthday Kiki”.

Charlie reportedly agreed to appear in Dancing on Ice in September. Charlie, 43, is also known for winning I’m Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! way back in 2012, she will be displaying her ice skates for the ITV celebrity skate dancing program. A source told The Sun: “Charlie’s a brilliant signing. She is extremely popular in EastEnders, has a lot of personality, and is feisty all at once. She may be able to recreate some of her on-screen magic from I’m a Celeb, according to the ITV bookers. Due to all the scandal, many female stars have avoided Strictly this year. They are making the most of it. It’s going to be a belting line-up”.

Charlie last appeared in Albert Square in 2022 despite having a long run on BBC1’s EastEnders. Since then, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has reportedly been starring in a stage production of the well-known children’s book in London’s West End. The EastEnders legend opened up about her struggle with alcohol earlier in September as she celebrated a significant milestone.

The actress, who frequently reprised her role since her first one-time performance in 1999, is said to have enjoyed the party atmosphere and shared some “brilliant times” with her Instagram followers. However, as she posed for the selfie upload, she added that it “always came at a price” – and now she is alcohol free and has been for four years.

Sharing further with her followers, she continued: “Sometimes I miss that version of my wild.. but my wild still shows up.. just in very different ways. Nothing compares to waking up sober on a Saturday morning or any other morning for that matter. It’s not a straightforward road. She added: “Mornings will forever be my new nights out”.

Jennifer Lopez lets slip she’s moved on from Ben Affleck as fans spot telling change

Jennifer Lopez, a star of Hollywood, may have made unintentional hints about how emotional she is now that she and Ben Affleck have split up.

JLo posed inside her $68 million Bel Air mansion, which she had previously shared with her ex-husband. She flashed her classy outfit in a black sequined gown. However, the fans’ attention was drawn to the background.

Previously, the room featured a framed photo of JLo and Ben together, but in this new post, the picture was replaced with one of JLo alone, dressed in a white gown as she danced joyfully. This subtle change suggests that JLo has left, as reported by TMZ suggests the former couple has not been able to sell the mansion.

JLo and Ben filed for divorce in 2024, after two years of marriage. Back in October, JLo opened up about the breakdown of her marriage to Ben, admitting that the period was “lonely, unfamiliar, and scary”. She has since stated that she enjoys being single and isn’t currently looking for love.

In a recent Instagram post (INSTAGRAM), Jennifer Lopez may have unintentionally suggested how emotional she is now that she split from Ben Affleck.

In a conversation with Interview magazine, she shared: “You know what? We think, “I have to have that be whole and happy,” for those who are romantic and enjoy being in relationships and want to get older with someone. And you don’t”.

The 55-year-old mother of twins ended her relationship with Ben earlier this year, and within a few weeks, he had moved his stuff into a bachelor pad from their multi-million dollar mansion. Although the couple had only been married for two years, many people believed they were finally living out their fairy tale romance because they had previously dated each other for years.

Speaking to Nikki Glaser, JLo said that following a series of failed marriages, she took on the hard task of taking a look at herself. The globally renowned star explained: “The work is figuring yourself out. It involves revisiting the beliefs we hold about ourselves and the factors that influence our decisions and life patterns.

Jennifer continued: “And so, when you get to a point where you think that you’ve learned the lessons, and then it blows up in your face again, you realize, ‘ Okay, I haven’t, so what is it that I need to look at right now”? I would say, never stop looking inward, because it’s so easy to blame everybody else.

Now that she has gone through her fourth divorce, the singer has said she has realised a person has to be “healthy” and “complete” before embarking on anything new. She candidly added: “But you have to be healthy. You have to be complete, if you want something that’s more complete. You must operate independently. I thought I learned that, but I didn’t. And then, this summer, I had to be like, ‘ I need to go off and be on my own. I want to demonstrate to myself that I can.

However, she made it clear that this summer was a “scary” one in an effort to remain true to herself. In her chat with Nikki, she went on to say: “It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels sad. It feels desperate. But when you sit in those feelings and go, ‘ These things are not going to kill me, ‘ it’s like actually, I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself'”.

She added: “Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I must find happiness in myself. I used to say I’m a happy person, but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill, and it’s just like”, No, I’m actually good. “‘
