MODEL, celebrity mum and TV presenter Melinda Messenger is back with husband Wayne, according to a report.

A Sunday newspaper yesterday said Melinda was again living with husband Wayne Roberts after their eight-month separation.

In the story it was claimed that Wayne had moved in with Melinda’s brother while the couple worked hard to repair their relationship.

Melinda, 37, met Wayne, 31, in a Swansea club and married him in Bali nine years ago.

Now the couple are said to be living together again with their three children, Morgan, eight, Flynn, six and Evie, four.

A friend told the News Of The World that the pair had decided not to get a divorce.

“It’s wonderful news because they are a lovely couple with lovely kids,” said the friend.

“They couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas present.”

It has been a busy year for Melinda, who was born in Swindon, but who now lives in Newbury.

In February she spoke out as a mum who suffered post-natal depression after the births of two of her children.

Then in March a poll named her one of Britain’s sexiest mums and she fronted an art campaign, aimed at getting parents doing more creative activities with their children.

In April she found herself back in the limelight when news broke of her separation from Wayne.

Weeks later she gave an exclusive interview to Hello! magazine which PR guru Max Clifford told the Advertiser that their decision to take their tale to the magazine was not a huge mistake, but the minuses outweigh the pluses.

In August she spoke to another weekly glossy magazine about how she and Wayne were again working to put their relationship back together.

Just a week later the shapely model was unveiled as the new face and body of Ultimo underwear. And then just last month Melinda launched her own fragrance, called Delightful.

At the time Melinda was photographed kissing husband Wayne as she practised for a forthcoming appearance on ITV’s Dancing On Ice show.

The friend added: “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.”
