OHMYGOSSIP — Melvin Odoom has had secret meetings about starring on ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here’.
The BBC Radio 1 DJ and his friend Rickie Haywood-Williams have both been approached to take part in the jungle show but Melvin admits he would be “too, too scared” to take part in the ITV programme.
Revealing they had been approached, Melvin said: “We have been asked to do ‘I’m A Celebrity’. We had a meeting with the team, and we’re both really scared of any bugs, any animals. Rickie did the spinoff, Extra Camp and he had to do one of the tasks, he was freaking out … I’d be too, too scared.”
Whilst Melvin has no plan to star in the show, it won’t stop him watching it.
He added: “I think it’s an amazing show to watch. I think it’s so entertaining, but I don’t think I could hack being in the jungle. And then all the other shows, like SAS, they look too difficult.
“I lasted on ‘Strictly’ for a week, and then I was booted off. But luckily I won the Christmas special. So I think after you do ‘Strictly’, this is the only thing that’s left to do that feels safe.”
Melvin and Rickie are now set to appear on ‘The Celebrity Circle’ and the 40-year-old radio DJ and television presenter feels it is “the right one” for the both of them.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column, he shared: “You know what? Me and Rickie are secretly excited, because when we were at uni we were obsessed with reality TV, shows like ‘Big Brother’. But we have been quite lucky in our careers to be able to dodge most of them. I think it’s about finding the right one, and this feels like the right one.”
