MELINDA Messenger has revealed for the first time that she met her new fiance while filming TV challenge show SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Until now it was thought The Sun’s page three legend had met Dr Raj Joshi while on a charity hike in Nepal, but she has now told for the first time how they grew close on the Channel 4 challenge programme.

After meeting in the Vietnamese jungle last September, the show medic, 47, popped the question this July while they holidayed in New Zealand.
Melinda, 52, told The Sun: “That’s the greatest thing that came out the show for me!
“So when I came out, I was crying, sweat, blood tears, and wee, I am not kidding you, in this old sports bra and cycling shorts covered in bruises and yeah, foot rot.
“The producer was like, ‘do you want to see the doctor? You may as well. Just pop in and just have a quick chat.’
“We just carried on chatting after that and that was it!
