Former I’m A Celebrity star Melanie Sykes reportedly ended things with Steve Coogan for a heartbreaking reason.
Presenter Mel – who starred on I’m A Celeb in 2014 which is back on screens today (November 30) – and funnyman Steve are said to have struck up a romance back in February 2019 after meeting for the first time at a film premiere.
Just a few months later though, it was reported that their relationship had ended.

Back in February 2019, The Sun reported that Mel and Steve were rather keen on each other, and even reportedly spent the weekend at his countryside Sussex home to get to know each other.
A source told the publication that Melanie was really taken with the actor, and found him both charming and humorous.
“People who know them have been joking about how well Steve has done — and even using DJ Alan Partridge’s catchphrase back of the net,” the insider shared.
Mel is gutted it didn’t work out.
They then added: “The weekend together was a bit of a test of whether the relationship has legs — and it seems it has. Mel seems pretty smitten and head over heels with him. She’s been talking about him a lot to her friends.”
