Melvin Odoom might start shouting 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' and evacuate the jungle prematurely if he gets wind of Carol Vorderman's reaction to his crush on her.
The radio star, 44, revealed he has a soft spot for the former Countdown host on the ITV show last night (19 November) after the contestants received their luxury items.
There were dressing gowns, a lilo and a tub of moisturiser flying about in camp after Alan Halsall and Danny Jones won all but two of the parcels, but it was Odoom's home comfort which really got viewers talking.
He received a personalised pillow which was adorned with sweet family photos - as well as one of Vorderman in a red leather dress at last year's ITV Palooza in London.

Odoom was buzzing with his luxury item and showed it off proudly to his fellow campmates before heading into the Bush Telegraph to explain why the TV icon, 63, earned a spot on the pillow.
He said: "My dad, my mum and Carol Vorderman. My crush.
"I have been a fan of Carol Vorderman for a very long time - in fact, I have a little rap.
"I know a woman so fine, she’s mature like a fine wine. The mandem can’t comprehend my 10 out of 10 Carol Vorderman, woo.
"I wanna work her out, check your DMs girl and I’ll be waiting."
And it seems the feeling of attraction might be mutual, as Vorderman sent her admirer a voice note revealing that she was flattered that he has the hots for her.
Take a look at this:
On I'm A Celeb's spin off show, I'm A Celebrity… Unpacked, hosts Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers revealed that the maths whizz had got in touch to share her thoughts.
In a sultry tone, Vorderman was heard saying: "Melvin, I’m blushing redder than that leather red dress I’m wearing on your pillowcase.
"But I’ll be rooting for you all the way through, and see you on the other side... in the two consonants, DM."
That's some serious game from Vorderman there if I must say - and I'm sure it will be music to Odoom's ears when he finally gets to listen to it.
Amid all the pillow talk, even Rodgers admitted the voice note was the 'sexiest thing she's ever heard in her life'... and you never know, Ant and Dec could end up deciding to play Cupid too.
Voderman has had two stints in the jungle herself, having appeared on I'm A Celeb back in 2016 before returning for the All-Stars series in South Africa in 2023.
Last year, Vorderman announced that she was polyamorous and admitted that she has a number of what she calls 'special friends'.
During an appearance on This Morning, she explained that she didn't 'want to settle' with anyone and was happy being very non-committal - so much so that everyone involved needs to identify as 'single'.
I wonder if Odoom would be down for that...
