Former Page 3 model Melinda Messenger is rocking silver hair after saying goodbye to her blonde locks. The 51-year-old showed off her new look in a no-makeup selfie on Instagram as she asked for tips.
Melissa is beaming in the casual photo whilst cutting a casual figure in dungarees. She added a poetic caption to the post: "Well like the trees leaves change their colour through the seasons so do we."
The mum-of-three then issued a callout: "Do I blend out the blonde or grow it out slowly? Any advice from my hair dresser friends and #silversisters welcome #silverhair #greyhairtransition #greyhair"
The star rose to fame after she was spotted on a billboard for a windows company in Swindon in 1997, and worked alongside models such as Katie Price, the Mirror reported.
Followers were quick to shower the model with praise, with one person writing: "you look beautiful."
Another person said: "It's actually lovely like that. The purple olaplex shampoo is brilliant." A third fan said: "Grow it out and embrace what's underneath."
One follower advised: "I had 2 lots of blond highlights to transition to grey. You will rock the silver," with Melinda thanking her for the remark. Melinda responded with a heart emoji when one person said they loved her new look.
The mum-of-three broke up with her husband Wayne Roberts in 2012 and last year said she wanted to start dating again.
Her most recent public romance was with Chris Harding, who she met in 2018, on a charity version of Channel 4's First Dates. However the pair later called it quits.
Last year Melinda said she was prepared to pay a pretty penny to join the exclusive dating agency Sara Eden Introductions. At the time, Membership fees started from £4995 per client but reportedly ranged up to as much as £25,000.
Melinda told OK! magazine: "I'm starting to think it would be quite nice to date. I would love to meet somebody but I am quite shy so I would never make the first move.
"I feel more open to dating now as the kids are all fine – it feels like the right time. I think dating sites would be a bit of a struggle, but I’ve never tried."
"I have been thinking I might join the Sara Eden Introductions agency, as that feels like a bit more of a gentle approach and they are local to me, so that’s a possibility. I just have to get over my fear of dating!"
Melinda has had famous men lining up for her in the past, including Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire and Top Gun actor Val Kilmer, but turned both down.
She was more interested in Robert Downey Jr, known for portraying superhero Iron Man, she revealed in an interview with The Sun.
