Melvin Odoom’s dreams have come true after he had a long-anticipated meet up with his celebrity crush Carol Vorderman.
The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star, 44, shared a sweet selfie with former Countdown star, 64, months after he admitted that he wanted to ask the presenter on a date but had been too afraid to say hello at the Pride of Britain Awards last year.
Sharing the photo to Instagram on Sunday (9 March), Odoom captioned the post: “Dreamed it then real lifed it,” alongside a red love-heart emoji.
Celebrity colleagues and fans have been supporting the potential couple, with JLS star Marvin Humes writing in the comments, “Nah it’s a mazza.. bro we need a part 2.”
Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks chimed in with a laughing-face emoji as a fan said: “The pairing we all wanted to happen!!”
Another person added: “Goooo Melvin!! This just made me smile soooooo much,” as another said: “Yes!!! This is what I have been waiting for! This is a wedding ITV needs to broadcast!!”
The long distance flirtation began when Odoom called Vorderman a “10 out of 10” while in the I’m a Celeb jungle. “Check your DMs girl, I’ll be waiting,” he said.
Vorderman quickly responded to Odoom’s romantic admission, and sent a message into I’m a Celebrity… Unpacked. She esemed chuffed about the news of the crush, when she said: “Jungle man, keep doing what you are doing, you’re doing a brilliant job. See you on the other side.”

When Odoom left the jungle, ITV filmed him checking his messages to find that Vorderman had messaged his social media manager, saying: “Please give him my best. He’s done so well [heart emoji].”

“When I was growing up we were told women were worthless without a husband. Women weren't even allowed their own bank accounts until 1975 when I was already a teenager age 14.”
She said: “Be strong in yourself and don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket. If you find a lover who will respect you and you want to be with them ...marvellous. BUT you are whole without them...always remember that. Work on it. Don't settle.”
 Regé-Jean Page, Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender and more 'Black Bag' stars chat with ET about filming their spy thriller, in theaters March 14. As Amazon MGM Studios takes over the James Bond franchise, Regé reacts to longtime fan theories that cast him as the next 007, along with the potential for one day reprising Simon Basset on 'Bridgerton.' For now, he's among the stacked cast in director Steven Soderbergh's latest film, which also stars Naomie Harris, Marisa Abela and Tom Burke. %23michaelfassbender)
