Awkward moment I’m A Celeb’s Melvin ignores GK Barry during emotional camp exit
I’M Celeb’s Melvin Odoom ignored GK Barry during his emotional camp exit.
Last night the radio presenter, 44, was the fourth celebrity to be evicted from the ITV show.
A happy Melvin went on to hug the rest of his jungle pals after Ant and Dec broke the news.
As he said goodbye to Oti Mabuse, Coleen Rooney, Rev Richard Coles and Alan Halsall, GK patiently waited her turn.
The podcaster told him: “We’re going to miss you Melvin!”
Melvin appeared to ignore the comment and went on to hug Barry McGuigan and said: “Man like Barry”.
Melvin also said: “Yes Maura,” when saying bye to the Love Island star.
Arriving in the treetop studio with Ant and Dec, Melvin warned them that he smelt after not washing for a few days.
He said: “I was ready to go. The best thing about that camp is the people, I loved every single person in there.
“Oti’s my girl, Danny, Bazza, he’s got a voice on him.”
Melvin said living in the jungle was “difficult” but he found positives in the daily routine.
When asked what he learned about himself, he said: “I’ve got quite a caring nature.”
The radio star called Oti Mabuse his “sister” in the camp and praised their special bond.
During his stint on the show he also opened up about his crush on Carol Vorderman.
Ant and Dec wanted to play out a flirty voice note from the Countdown star on the show, but it failed due to technical difficulties.
The radio DJ did manage to hear the sultry voicenote though, with him listening to it while appearing on spin-off show Unpacked.
Who has left the jungle?
Jane Moore
Dean McCollough
Tulisa
Melvin Odoom
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.
After it played, Melvin clapped loudly and shouted: “Yesssss!”
“No way!!”
