Melanie Sykes breaks her silence after secret relationship with Olly Murs is revealed
MEL Sykes has broken her social media silence with a sizzling trip down memory lane after her relationship with Olly Murs was made public.
Yet fans hoping for the first loved-up selfie of the cute couple may well be disappointed with the former model's latest Instagram post.
Failing to address The Sun's exclusive revelation she has been dating the 33-year-old X Factor hunk for the past year, Mel, 47, plumped for a photo of her 27-year-old self wearing a blue denim cap.
Taken from her modelling heyday the brunette can be seen wearing a strappy black top and with her left cheek to the camera and mouth open in a sultry pout.
The Des and Mel host added the words: ‘Turn the other cheek’ #tbt #profile #1997 #magshoot #me#27yrsold #throwbackthursday."
One fan was quick to comment: "You go girl!! ��🏻🙏❤️" as another gushed: "Good philosophy to live by 🙏🏼 namaste."
A contact of Mel's recalled: "I remember this! ❤️" after which she replied: "I thought you might xxxxxxx ❤️."
The northern screen star is no stranger to sexy selfies so her solo upload came as no surprise, yet some fans may have been hoping for an image to confirm her new romance.
Earlier this week, The Sun was first to report how new Voice coach Olly, and his fitness fanatic lover tried to keep their fling under wraps by insisting they were just pals.
But they have enjoyed a string of hush-hush dates at each other’s houses after bonding over their mutual love of keeping fit.
A showbiz source revealed last night: “Mel loves a younger man and really fell for Olly when he got into shape late last year.
“They were initially introduced through a mutual friend. They started texting for ages and some of the messages ended up getting quite saucy.
“They were bonding over her fitness programme. He was a fan of her gym selfies and thought that she had an amazing body.
“Olly was getting in shape at the time and Mel really loved his new fit bod.
“They ended up meeting for a date and have had a whole series of secret dates at his house where she will sometimes stay overnight.
“They have both been determined for nobody to find out. It’s been a bit off and on and there’s a real physical attraction between them.”
