Melinda Messenger<\/a> is “still shocked” by the reaction to her rocking grey hair.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Melinda Messenger couldn’t believe how outraged people were by her grey locks<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old former glamour model – who ditched her TV career almost a decade ago and now runs a successful psychotherapy business – caused a stir when she revealed she’d ditched the hair dye to sport her natural hair colour last year, and she said it changed what was meant to be a “freeing” experience to the complete opposite.<\/p>\n

She told Platinum magazine: “Yes, I was! I’m still shocked about it. I couldn’t understand why my hair colour was so significant, and people are still talking to me about it now. I was astounded, because I had people calling me up to say they d been watching the story on the BBC news. But it’s just my hair colour. Embracing my greys was meant to be freeing. And then, ironically, it became very un-freeing because there were huge expectations [for me to stay grey]. But it’s fine.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it’s about living the life we want to live and not the life that others expect us to.<\/p>\n

Why does it matter if you’ve coloured your hair or not coloured your hair? Mine might be pink in six months. Who knows?!”<\/p>\n

\nMelinda – who has three children with ex-husband Wayne Roberts – is engaged to Dr Raj Joshi after meeting on ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’ and she has admitted she was not looking for love at the time.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “Yeah, I mean, I won’t say too much, but it was the last thing I expected, she says. It was interesting timing, because I’d just completed my training, and my children are all grown up now, so maybe the timing was right. I’m a great believer that when the timing’s right for something, it happens. And again, I think when you’re not looking for something, that’s when it usually comes and knocks at the door, in the most unexpected places?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
