The famous mum – who shot to fame as a Page 3 model – commented on the post and said: “Thank you all, for such lovely messages, I’m feeling the love, and sending it back out to you all.”
At 53, the famous noughties star is known for having switched career from Page 3 star to TV presenter.
Known for having hosted the likes of Eurotrash, Fort Boyard, and To Buy Or Not To Buy, this famous lady has also popped up as a celebrity star on several reality shows.

Known for being at the helm of the Health Lottery, Melinda then went on to quit regular television work.
After quitting regular TV work, Melinda undertook training in psychotherapy and has practised since 2015.
The stunning blonde beauty married Wayne Roberts in Bali in 1998 before welcoming three children.
Melinda and Wayne are parents to aforementioned Evie, as well as Flynn and Morgan.
The couple sadly divorced in 2012.
What is a Nepo Baby?
A ‘nepo baby’ is a colloquial term used to describe individuals who have gained opportunities or success in their careers primarily due to familial connections or the influence of their well-known or wealthy parents, rather than solely through their own talent, skills, or efforts.
The term ‘nepo’ is short for ‘nepotism’, which refers to favouritism granted to relatives or close friends, often in a professional context.
Key Characteristics:
Inherited advantage: Nepo babies often benefit from their family’s established reputation, wealth, or industry connections.
Access to networks: They typically have easier access to influential networks and resources within their chosen field.
Public perception: The term can carry a negative connotation, implying that their success is not entirely merit-based.
Industries Affected:
Entertainment: Many actors, musicians, and other performers are often labeled as nepo babies if they have famous parents.
Business: Individuals who inherit or are given significant roles in family-owned businesses.
Politics: Politicians who follow in the footsteps of their parents or other relatives.
Examples:
Children of famous actors who become actors themselves.
Heirs to business empires who assume executive roles.
Offspring of political figures who enter public office.
The concept of nepo babies is often debated, with some arguing that it undermines the notion of meritocracy.
Meanwhile, others believe that it is natural for families to support and help each other succeed.
Melinda then moved on with Dr. Raj Joshi, whom she got engaged to after meeting on the Channel 4 show, Celebrity SAS, while filming the show in Vietnam.
But sadly, the couple split just six months after the pair got engaged in New Zealand.
At the time of the news of Melinda and Raj’s split breaking, The Sun revealed that a source had shared details on their break up.
A source told us that the pair “fell fast” and had an “amazing” year travelling around the world together but ultimately decided to part ways.
“Melinda is gutted because she thought he was the one after they bonded over such an amazing experience,” the source added.
They concluded: “The wedding is off. They are no longer in touch.”
Explaining how they fell in love, Melinda previously told The Sun: “So when I came out, I was crying, sweat, blood tears, and wee, I am not kidding you, in this old sports bra and cycling shorts covered in bruises and yeah, foot rot.
“The producer was like, ‘Do you want to see the doctor? You may as well. Just pop in and just have a quick chat.’
“We just carried on chatting after that and that was it!
“So the show changed my life in more ways than one, and I’m truly thankful for that.”

2 weeks agoNews 1Comments Off on Arctic ‘doomsday vault’ takes chilling new delivery to preserve FOREVER if life on Earth is wiped out by nuclear war
A “DOOMSDAY vault” has received a new delivery of crop seeds to preserve forever if the Earth is wiped out by a nuclear war.
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is located 430 feet down, deep inside a mountain on the remote Norwegian Arctic island.

This vault is located 430 feet down, deep in the mountain
The vault was set up in 2008 as the ultimate backup plan for the world’s food, and protects plants from all external destruction, like war and disease.
It contains more than 1.3 million seeds from around the world, with 14,000 more samples arriving today.
Today’s delivery includes seeds of Nordic tree species from Sweden and rice from Thailand, according to the Crop Trust.
Executive Director of the Crop Trust Stefan Schmitz said: “The seeds deposited this week represent not just biodiversity, but also the knowledge, culture and resilience of the communities that steward them.”
The vault is not open to tourists and can only be visited as part of an organised trip to the entrance with guides.
The only exception to this is if you are bringing an offering.
The vault’s chambers are only opened three times a year to limit the seeds’ exposure to the outside world.
The seeds are stored in custom-made foil packages inside sealed boxes on the shelves inside the vault.
Temperatures inside the vault sit around -18 degrees Celsius which, alongside limited access to oxygen, can prevent the seeds from ageing.
Executive director of the Crop trust, Marie Haga, said in an interview with TIME magazine earlier this year: “There are big and small doomsdays going on around the world every day.
“Genetic material is being lost all over the globe.”
The vault played a critical role in restoring damaged seed collections in Syria between 2015 and 2019, when the country was ravaged by war.
But the vault’s purpose isn’t just to preserve old and contemporary strains of plants – but to give scientists the building blocks to create new ones, if necessary.
The vault contains enough genetic diversity and DNA to develop new strains that will grow in a future where Earth might be really hot, or really cold, or really dark.
