MELINDA Messenger has split from her fiance Dr Raj Joshi just six months into their engagement.
The former Page Three girl, 52 – who met the stingy doctor while filming Celebrity SAS 2022 – called off this year’s wedding after a series of rows over their lifestyles.

A source said: “Melinda is still a glamor girl at the end of the day – and a life of adventure wasn’t really in her plans.
“They fell fast and had an amazing year traveling the world, but decided to call it quits this year.
“Melinda is devastated because she thought he was the one after they bonded after such an amazing experience.”

Melinda and Dr Raj dated in secret for a while after meeting on the Channel 4 show, which was filmed in Vietnam, with fans thinking they met on a charity trip to Nepal.
She later revealed how they actually met after the doctor, 47, popped the question last July while they were on holiday in New Zealand.
Explaining how they fell in love, Melinda previously told The Sun: “When I came out I was crying, sweaty, bloody tears, and I kid you not, in this old sports bra and cycling shorts covered in bruises and yes, foot rot.
“The producer said, ‘Do you want to see a doctor? You can too. Just stop by and have a quick chat.’
“We just kept talking after that and that was it!
“So the show has changed my life in more ways than one and I’m really grateful for that.”

Mum-of-three Melinda, who first modeled for The Sun in 1997, revealed they are engaged and plan to tie the knot this year.
She wrote: “We have very happy news to share. @raj.joshi.expedition and I got engaged in beautiful New Zealand on Matariki, Maori New Year, and will be married next year.”
Melinda was married to her children’s father, therapist Wayne Roberts, for 14 years before they divorced in 2012.
She has since had a romance with ski instructor Warren Smith, whom she met on the reality show The Jump, and then an eight-month relationship with Royal Marine Chris Harding, whom she met on Celebrity First Dates.
