Evicted from camp after being in the bottom two with Love Island's Maura Higgins, the radio host made his way across the bridge and met Ant and Dec for a natter.
While he was being interviewed by the dynamic duo, Melvin's crush on Carol Vorderman was brought up, which came after he revealed his huge crush on the former Countdown star while in the jungle.
Ant and Dec then proceeded to play a voicenote that Carol had recorded for Melvin after she heard of his crush on her.
But due to technical issues, the voicenote failed to play, meaning Melvin was unable to hear it until later on.
The radio DJ did manage to hear the sultry voicenote though, with him listening to it while appearing on spin-off show Unpacked.
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.
RACY VOICEVOTE FROM VORDERS"See you on the other side in the – two consonants – DMs," she quipped, hinting that she'd send him a message for him to read when he came out of the jungle.

Melvin's mouth was wide open as he listened, with the radio and TV personality completely gobsmacked by Carol's sexy voicenote and sultry voice.
After it played, Melvin clapped loudly and shouted: "Yesssss!"
"No way!!" he added, still completely shocked by what he had just heard.
MELVIN'S PLAN OF ACTIONSam then asked Melvin what his plan of action was and whether he planned to send a cheeky emoji or a written message.
I'm A Celebrity 2024
i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle. The Sun's Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars on the show this year..
Coleen Rooney - Arguably the most famous name in the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney, has made a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to be on the show this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever.
Tulisa - The popstar and former X Factor judge has made her triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year's I'm A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal.
Alan Halsall - The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he has become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities.
Melvin Odoom - The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. Melvin has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet - the Aussie jungle.
GK Barry - The UK's biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career. Aside from her popular social media channels, she hosts the weekly podcast, Saving Grace, and regularly appears on ITV talk show, Loose Women. She has even gone on to endorse popular brands such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers.
Dean McCullough - A rising star amongst this year's bunch of celebs, Dean first achieved notability through his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1. He was chosen to join the BBC station permanently in 2021 and has featured prominently ever since. He has enjoyed a crossover to ITV over the past year thanks to his guest slots on Big Brother spin-off show, Late & Live.
Oti Mabuse - The pro dancer has signed up to her latest TV show after making her way through the biggest programmes on the box. She originally found fame on Strictly Come Dancing but has since branched out into the world of TV judging with appearances on former BBC show The Greatest Dancer as well as her current role on ITV's Dancing On Ice.
Danny Jones - The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle, after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he's now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice, along with bandmate Tom Fletcher.
Jane Moore - The Loose Women star and The Sun columnist is braving the creepy crawlies this year. The star is ready for a new challenge - having recently split from her husband. It will be Jane's first foray into reality TV with the telly favourite having always said no to reality shows in the past.
Barry McGuigan - Former pro boxer Barry is the latest fighting champ to head Down Under following in the footsteps of Tony Bellew and Amir Khan. It comes after a tough few years for Irish star Barry, who lost his daughter Danika to bowel cancer. He told The Late Late Show in 2021: "She was such an intrinsic part of the family that every day we ache."
Maura Higgins - The Irish TV beauty first found fame on Love Island where she found a brief connection with dancer Curtis Pritchard. Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up. Since last year, she has been working on building up her career in the US by being the social media correspondent and host of Aftersun to accompany Love Island USA. She even guest hosted an episode of the spin-off, Love Island Games, in place of Maya Jama last year.
Rev. Richard Coles - Former BBC radio host the Rev Richard Coles is a late arrival on I’m A Celebrity, and he's ready to spill the beans on his former employer. The former Communards and Strictly star, said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: "Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth."
"I'm thinking a picture," he revealed, before noting, "I've got my abs back," hinting that the snap he plans to send would be a body photo.
This came after Melvin revealed his crush on the former Countdown starlet.
CELEBRITY CRUSH REVEALEDWhile in the I'm A Celeb jungle, Melvin received a pillow as his luxury item, which had a photo of Carol Vorderman on it, who was donning a red leather dress.
The radio DJ, 44, then spoke about the time he met 63-year-old Carol at the Pride Of Britain Awards earlier this year but was "too shy to say hello that day".
N-Dubz star Tulisa, 36, then advised: "Melvin, a strong woman like that is going to appreciate you going: 'I just want to say I think you're a sensational woman and I'd love to take you out for a drink and get to know you if you'd be happy to oblige me.'
Melvin then thought up a scenario on the spot and pretended to ask Carol on a date, using Tulisa's advice for inspiration.
Pretending to speak to the maths whizz, Melvin said: "Hello Carol, great work on Pride of Britain. Are you free on Saturday?'"
The camp then said he was "doing too much", which sparked Melvin to try again.
"You look sensational today, you're actually glowing, has anyone ever said that?" he asked, pretending Carol was in front of him.
He then said, "Listen, I've booked a restaurant for next week, it's gonna be Thai food all expenses paid, I'm gonna send the cab to your house for about 8pm, I'll see you there."
Then, in the Bush Telegraph after he acted out his dream scenario with his crush, Melvin said: "She could be watching this right now and be thinking, 'I need myself a jungle man'."
