Melvin Odoom is preparing to become a father for the first time at 46.
The radio presenter announced girlfriend Hannah Holland’s pregnancy through an Instagram post yesterday (Friday, September 4).
Melvin Odoom and Hannah Holland met through I’m A Celebrity
He shared three black-and-white pictures, including a close-up of their hands cradling Hannah’s growing bump.
Melvin and Hannah’s relationship began after they met backstage during I’m A Celebrity in Australia in 2024.
Melvin kept the caption simple, writing: “Mum & Dad” beside a grey heart. Another picture showed Hannah, 32, wearing jeans and an open white shirt.
A final image captured Melvin taking photographs of his girlfriend. The post soon attracted congratulatory messages from famous friends and fans.
At the time, Melvin was a contestant, while Hannah was in Australia for work. Hannah is chief executive of London-based entertainment agency HLD.
Her company represents GK Barry, who appeared alongside Melvin in the ITV series. The pair reportedly connected around the friends and family area following Melvin’s departure from camp.
When their romance emerged last year, a source told The Sun the pair were very happy. The source also claimed they wanted to keep their relationship away from public attention.
