Melvin revealed his admiration for Carol while in the I’m A Celebrity jungle, picking a pillow with the former Countdown host printed on it as his luxury item. Although months have gone by since he publicly stated his love for Carol, Melvin made it clear that she hasn’t brushed him off yet, and that he had a master plan to finally secure a date.

Speaking to the Mirror at the TV Choice Awards, Melvin blasted claims that Carol had “ghosted” him on Instagram. “She didn’t ghost me! I don’t know where this – she just hasn’t read my message yet! There’s this rumour going around that she ghosted me,” he jokingly protested. The DJ then gushed over Carol, and shared that he had complete faith she’d get in touch with him when the time’s right.

“Carol’s a lovely lady. I just want to put that in black and white right now. She is a wonderful lady, she’s hardworking, and she’s busy out here trying to look after people and take care of them,” he said. “She ain’t got time to look at my DMs every five seconds! So when she sees it, I’m sure she’ll read it… when she’s ready

While Carol hadn’t read Melvin’s message, she did send him a message of her own while he was still in Australia. The Cambridge graduate appeared on I’m a Celebrity… Unpacked, and sent a voice note to Melvin. “Melvin, 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, and see you on the other side,” she teased.

Aside from his major crush on Carol, Melvin has always kept his private life private. However, he revealed that he’s open to love wherever he might find it. In a YouTube interview last year, he said: “Dating is hard. For me, don’t shut yourself off from anything because your potential partner could be anywhere. You have to chill and go with the flow, you can’t control love.”
