Monday 26 September 2022 09:08 AM Melinda Messenger, 51, 'signs up for next series of Celeb SAS' trends now

Melinda Messenger has reportedly signed up for next series of Celeb SAS.

The former Page 3 model, 51, is said to be returning to the limelight after a six year absence to take part in the Channel 4 show. 

Earlier this month, Melinda hit back at an 'anti-ageing' fan reaction to her natural grey hair after she ditched her trademark blonde locks.

The stunner took to Instagram earlier this month to debut her silver tresses and reveal she was growing out her signature blonde hair.

But Melinda  revealed that she received many 'anti-ageing' comments in response to her selfie, as she slammed the reaction as 'very peculiar'.

She took to Instagram on Wednesday to share more selfies of her grey locks and criticised some people for sending negative comments about her natural hair and make-up free look.

The TV presenter also shared a video of herself to Instagram over the weekend where she addressed the backlash, slamming people for being 'anti-ageing' as 'we all experience it'.

In the candid video, she said: 'Hello loves, so I had some feedback on my picture of my grey hair, which is coming through slowly, and the fact I wasn't wearing any make-up, which is bizarre.

'I had some lovely comments and a lot of anti-ageing comments, lots of 'oh gosh you look so old' and 'it adds years to you'.

'And it's just this thing about ageing isn't it, some people seem to be really against it, and it's such a natural thing, and god willing something we all experience.

'So why be so against it? It's very peculiar, but there we have it. What I have realised is that ageing and getting older is a process of growing. 

'And growing to learn how to love each other more easily, and more importantly - most importantly - learn how to love ourselves.'

In an accompanying caption, Melinda again addressed the negative comments she received about her natural hair colour, encouraging other people to 'be free'.

She continued: 'I was curious to see how people felt [about my grey hair] and it seems there's a lot of anti aging. I wonder if it's because it reflects back our own mortality?

'Better to accept that we will all die at some point, so that we can get on with living.

'I noticed too that the comments here in our little online community were positive, supportive and encouraging. That is so lovely to see, and thank you, you are amazing and appreciated.

'So yes let yourself go! Let yourself go be free.'

Melinda once again took to her Instagram on Wednesday to encourage 'self-love' as she shared an array of beaming selfies.
