Mel hell over
Love-split model moves back with hubby
JINGLE bells . . . Melinda Messenger is giving her kids the best Christmas present by deciding she DOESN'T want to be a single mel.
The model and TV presenter is back with her husband Wayne Roberts after an eight-month separation.
The couple, who have been married for nine years, are living together again with kids Morgan, aged eight, Flynn, six, and Evie, four.

A close friend told the News of the World: "Melinda and Wayne have decided they are NOT going to divorce.
"They realised they missed each other and now they have saved their marriage. It's wonderful news because they are a lovely couple with lovely kids.
"They couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present."
Kiss
Melinda, 37, met Wayne, 31, in a Swansea club in 1996. Two years later they married in Bali.
But Melinda, who suffered postnatal depression after Evie's birth, told in May how they had decided on a trial separation after she began feeling she had lost her "deep connection" with Wayne. "We need some space to sort ourselves out," she said.
Wayne moved in with Melinda's brother while she and the kids stayed in their home in Padworth, Berks.
Next month Ultimo undies girl Melinda will compete in ITV1's Dancing on Ice, and last month the couple were spotted sharing a steamy kiss as Wayne helped her with her training.
Now she's spinning with joy after their reconciliation.
A friend said: "They have put their past problems behind them and are going to rebuild their lives as a united family.
"They are going to enjoy a fantastic Christmas together."

I always feel a tinge of pessimism when a couple get back together. It's as if one or other of the partnership have experienced isolation and don't like it and want to put it right by getting back together again. Isolation is an often awful but natural human experience, but an alternative is to hang on for the novelty of a new relationship, the risk being that that wont happen.

Great news.
I always thought they looked good together.
Have a great XMAS with your children.

I'm so pleased to hear this. I met Wayne and his sons earlier this year and thought he seemed a lovely man and a great dad.
Hope they can make it work again.
