Melvin Odoom's Jungle Crush; A Light-hearted Adventure on 'I'm A Celebrity'

2024-11-21

Melvin Odoom, the 44-year-old radio DJ and presenter, has been making waves in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, where he has openly confessed his crush on beloved TV personality Carol Vorderman, 63. During a recent episode, Odoom revealed that he received a pillow featuring family photos alongside an image of Vorderman, sparking interest and amusement among his campmates and viewers.

In a playful moment, Melvin shared, “I have been a fan of Carol Vorderman for a very long time – in fact, I have a little rap,” before sharing his quirky rap dedicated to the Countdown star. Vorderman, who has a history of being in the jungle herself, responded warmly to Odoom’s confession on the spinoff show, saying, “I’m blushing redder than that leather red dress I’m wearing on your pillowcase. But I’ll be rooting for you all the way through.”

Before his stint on I’m A Celebrity, Melvin Odoom made a name for himself on children’s TV, particularly known for his role on Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow. He transitioned into radio, hosting shows on BBC Radio 1 and previously Kiss FM, where he gained significant popularity.

Interestingly, Odoom’s connection with Vorderman has excited fans, many of whom took to social media to share their thoughts and hopes for a potential meeting between the two. Some even suggested a spin-off television show featuring the pair.

As the series progresses, viewers are eager to see how Odoom’s personality and charm will play out in the jungle, particularly his endearing attempts at charming Carol. With his past experience on reality TV, including a run on Strictly Come Dancing, fans are hopeful that Odoom will navigate the challenges of the show successfully while keeping the entertainment alive.
