Melvin Odoom’s dream has come true as he finally secures a “date” with his long-time crush, Carol Vorderman. 

The BBC Radio 1 host, 44, couldn’t contain his excitement when he shared a heartfelt post on Instagram this Sunday, revealing a sweet snap of himself and the former Countdown star, 

64. The two stars can be seen cosying up in a warm and intimate moment that has sent Melvin’s fans into a frenzy of support and excitement.

Captioning the photo, Melvin wrote, “Dreamed it then real lifed it,” reflecting just how surreal the moment felt for him.

Fans flooded the comments section, expressing their delight at the long-awaited meeting between the two stars. 

One fan praised Melvin’s ability to manifest his dreams, saying, “The king of manifesting. We need the tea.” 

Others were quick to joke and cheer him on, with one comment reading, “The selfies we’ve all been waiting for. Vodderzzz,” referencing Carol’s nickname among fans. Another added, “And the crowd stood up and cheered,” while a third wrote, “Man like Melvin making manifestations happen! I hope you didn’t just get a couple of selfies and that you two now can build on a blossoming friendship. You’re looking good bruv and VERY happy.”

Melvin’s crush on Carol was no secret during his time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! In fact, he made his admiration for the TV presenter known by picking a pillow featuring Carol’s image as his luxury item. His fans couldn’t help but root for him, eagerly awaiting the day he would finally meet his idol. Although months passed since Melvin openly declared his love for Carol, the recent social media post confirmed that she hadn’t brushed him off and that their connection had finally blossomed into a friendly moment.

At the TV Choice Awards, Melvin set the record straight regarding rumors that Carol had “ghosted” him on Instagram. He laughed off the gossip, explaining, “She didn’t ghost me! I don’t know where this — she just hasn’t read my message yet! There’s this rumor going around that she ghosted me.” He then went on to gush about Carol’s character, calling her a “wonderful lady” who is “hardworking” and “busy” with her own commitments. Melvin was quick to add that he understood Carol’s schedule and was confident she would read his message when the time was right.

Although Carol hadn’t responded to Melvin’s message at the time, she did reach out to him while he was still in Australia during his I’m A Celebrity stint. Carol appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked, sending Melvin a playful voice note that teased him about his crush. “Melvin, I’m blushing redder than that leather red dress I’m wearing on your pillowcase,” she said, before adding, “But I’ll be rooting for you all the way through, and see you on the other side.”

Now, with their selfie making the rounds on social media, fans are left wondering whether this could be the beginning of something more between the two stars. While Melvin’s crush on Carol has been the talk of the town, he has also kept his personal life relatively private. However, in a YouTube interview last year, Melvin revealed that he is open to love in all forms. “Dating is hard. For me, don’t shut yourself off from anything because your potential partner could be anywhere,” he said. “You have to chill and go with the flow, you can’t control love.”

Melvin’s openness about his feelings toward Carol has clearly resonated with his fans, who continue to root for the pair as they enjoy their blossoming friendship. Whether this meeting marks the start of a deeper connection or simply a shared moment of joy between two stars, it’s clear that Melvin’s manifestation has come to life, and fans are here for it.

As for Carol, her playful and supportive messages toward Melvin suggest that they have built a genuine connection, and time will tell whether their friendship continues to grow. For now, fans are basking in the joy of seeing these two stars come together, and Melvin’s journey from I’m A Celebrity contestant to achieving his dream moment with Carol Vorderman will be a memory he holds dear for years to come.
