Speaking on I'm A Celebrity! Unpacked, Melvin revealed he had broken one of the major rules in camp.
Speaking with Sam Thompson and Joel Dommett, Melvin explained he had stashed salt and pepper packets in his clothes and smuggled them in camp.
He revealed: "I love my food, the seasoning. Where was the seasoning?
“So basically, my mum used to be a seamstress, so I made like a little pouch. And you know, you get the little sachets of salt so took those in.”

Yet it got awkward when it came to the show’s security as Melvin continued: “I don't know if you've met him but there's a big security guy and he looks like The Rock who works here, and he patted me down.
“I was nearly about to poo myself, but he didn't find it. So then when I went in, I was like ‘I need to put it in the food early on’, like the first few days, because I just want to get rid of it.”
He then revealed how he tried to recruit one of his fellow camp mates into his plan but they didn’t want to break the rules.
He said: “I panicked, but Tulisa was our chef on the first few days.

"So I was like, they might have seen me. I didn't want to be the guy to put it in.
“So I tried to hand it to T like that, and no one saw me.

"She just thought I was trying to hold her hand. So she was like, ‘What are you doing?’
“So I put in her hand, but because she's so honest, she never used it.
"I was thinking, I'll maybe give her a few days, she'll use it tomorrow, and then she never used it.
“But then we became the chefs, I didn't know where she hid it, and we were being filmed and couldn't be like, ‘where did you hide the sachets?!’”
Melvin wasn't the only rule breaker though as camp mate Dean McCullough also flouted the rules and smuggled in tea bags, which he disclosed to camp mate Jane Moore.
Viewers also spotted ANOTHER sneaky rule break from Melvin.
As Ant and Dec entered camp to tell the celebs who was being evicted, Melvin was shown mouthing "Happy Birthday Mum!".
One fan was even brought to tears with the star's quick message.
They posted: "Why am i crying at Melvin Odoom wishing his mum a happy birthday?!"
During his time in camp, ITV viewers saw Melvin hit rock bottom at various points including when torrential rain soaked his sleeping bag and hammock, forcing him to sleep in The Bushtucker Telegraph.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun on his exit, the radio DJ revealed he had thought about throwing the towel in and leaving the jungle.
Asked if he had thought about quitting, told The Sun yesterday: "Yes and no.
"Yeah, because I found it difficult and I thought the finish line seemed quite far away at the time.
"But no, because I didn't want to let my family down.
"The most similar process to this that I've ever done in my life was Strictly, and I was the first person out.
"And I was aware of that in my head. I felt like I let people down when I did that.
