Watch Melvin Odoom’s reaction to crush Carol Vorderman’s flirty voicenote as she tells him to slide into her DMs
MELVIN Odoom had a very sweet reaction to his crush Carol Vorderman’s flirty voicenote.
Last night on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Melvin became the next celeb to lose their place in the jungle.
Evicted from camp after being in the bottom two with Love Island’s Maura Higgins, the radio host made his way across the bridge and met Ant and Dec for a natter.
While he was being interviewed by the dynamic duo, Melvin’s crush on Carol Vorderman was brought up, which came after he revealed his huge crush on the former Countdown star while in the jungle.
Ant and Dec then proceeded to play a voicenote that Carol had recorded for Melvin after she heard of his crush on her.
But due to technical issues, the voicenote failed to play, meaning Melvin was unable to hear it until later on.
The radio DJ did manage to hear the sultry voicenote though, with him listening to it while appearing on spin-off show Unpacked.
Sam Thompson played the audio clip for Melvin after gifting him with a mug with Carol’s face on it.
“Well hello,” she began in the voicenote.
“Oh Melvin, I’m blushing redder than that leatherette dress I’m wearing on your pillowcase.
“But I’ll be rooting for you all the way through,” Carol swooned.
RACY VOICEVOTE FROM VORDERS
“See you on the other side in the – two consonants – DMs,” she quipped, hinting that she’d send him a message for him to read when he came out of the jungle.
Melvin’s mouth was wide open as he listened, with the radio and TV personality completely gobsmacked by Carol’s sexy voicenote and sultry voice.
After it played, Melvin clapped loudly and shouted: “Yesssss!”
“No way!!” he added, still completely shocked by what he had just heard.
MELVIN’S PLAN OF ACTION
Sam then asked Melvin what his plan of action was and whether he planned to send a cheeky emoji or a written message.

The former Communards and Strictly star, said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: “Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth.”
“I’m thinking a picture,” he revealed, before noting, “I’ve got my abs back,” hinting that the snap he plans to send would be a body photo.
This came after Melvin revealed his crush on the former Countdown starlet.
CELEBRITY CRUSH REVEALED
While in the I’m A Celeb jungle, Melvin received a pillow as his luxury item, which had a photo of Carol Vorderman on it, who was donning a red leather dress.
The radio DJ, 44, then spoke about the time he met 63-year-old Carol at the Pride Of Britain Awards earlier this year but was “too shy to say hello that day”.
N-Dubz star Tulisa, 36, then advised: “Melvin, a strong woman like that is going to appreciate you going: ‘I just want to say I think you’re a sensational woman and I’d love to take you out for a drink and get to know you if you’d be happy to oblige me.’
Melvin then thought up a scenario on the spot and pretended to ask Carol on a date, using Tulisa’s advice for inspiration.
Pretending to speak to the maths whizz, Melvin said: “Hello Carol, great work on Pride of Britain. Are you free on Saturday?'”
The camp then said he was “doing too much”, which sparked Melvin to try again.
“You look sensational today, you’re actually glowing, has anyone ever said that?” he asked, pretending Carol was in front of him.
He then said, “Listen, I’ve booked a restaurant for next week, it’s gonna be Thai food all expenses paid, I’m gonna send the cab to your house for about 8pm, I’ll see you there.”
Then, in the Bush Telegraph after he acted out his dream scenario with his crush, Melvin said: “She could be watching this right now and be thinking, ‘I need myself a jungle man’.”
