Messenger 'overjoyed' by marriage reunion

Dancing On Ice contestant Melinda Messenger has revealed that she is overjoyed her marriage has got back on track.

The mum-of-three split from husband Wayne Roberts in February, admitting that the couple had been having 'awful' rows.

Speaking to the News of the World, Messenger said the couple had managed to slowly reconcile over several months. "We got back together gradually," she said. It started with Wayne coming at the weekend to see the children, then it was him staying overnight in the spare room, which became 'Daddy’s Room'.

"And then I started thinking: 'Wow, you're really beautiful!' One day it had been really tough for Wayne, he'd hurt his knee [and] was on crutches. He'd got caught out in the rain and was really depressed. I remember thinking: 'Oh, I do love you.' I wanted to take care of him."

The former glamour model added that her marriage has been much stronger since the break-up. She said: "I now get more hugs and kisses, he tells me he loves me and he sends me lovely text messages as opposed to just: 'Can you bring home bread?' or 'Put another wash load on.'

"Now it’s like: 'I love you babe. I miss you.' And he'll cook me dinner or take me away for a weekend."
