Melvin Odoom serves as the host for a radio show on BBC Radio 1, teaming up with Rickie Haywood-Williams and Charlie Hedges. Previously, he achieved recognition as a host on BBC Radio 1Xtra.

As a well-known figure on British television screens, I’ve graced various shows, including The Xtra Factor, Sweat the Small Stuff, the MOBO Awards, and the BRIT Awards. I even danced my way through the 2016 season of Strictly Come Dancing, partnering with the talented Janette Manrara.

Phobias: “I really hate insects and creepy crawlies.”

“My Strengths and Weaknesses:” “I always maintain a positive outlook in any given situation, but my challenge is that I tend to snore quite loudly. I’m currently working on training myself to stop doing so before going to sleep at a campsite.

Dream camper: “Bruno Mars or a comedian like Ricky Gervais!”

What has Melvin Odoom said about joining I’m a Celebrity 2024?

Melvin is taking after his buddies and previous co-campers, namely Joel Dommett, Marvin Humes, Roman Kemp, and Jordan North.

Melvin shared some guidance with me about what to anticipate at camp, he said. And he secretly hopes to appear just as impressive as Marvin did in the well-known jungle shower when he was on the program last year. Jokingly, Melvin commented: “He looked fantastic in the shower!

Additionally, he confessed that his loud snoring could potentially annoy the fellow camp dwellers. The DJ disclosed: “Snoring gives me sleepless nights. I’ve been making efforts to suppress it, because disturbing others’ sleep is not trivial. If my snoring becomes evident, it might turn the camp against me.

Apart from his snoring, Melvin expressed concern over food scarcity. He stated, “Another issue that concerns me is not getting a ‘star’ as we go along. When I don’t eat enough, I transform into Moody Melvin – it’s quite unusual, but I make an effort to complete all the trials.

When asked who he’d miss the most during his time, Melvin admitted that he would dearly wish to converse with someone who reminds him of his sister while away. Thinking about her being far off made him emotional. In his eyes, she is an exceptional individual, and he fervently hopes there will be a person in the camp who shares similar qualities as his beloved sibling.
