Is Mel’s manor weekend a wedding recce in disguise?

COULD TV presenter and former glamour model Melinda Messenger be planning an Irish wedding?

The stunning television star revealed last month that she had found love with photographer Chris Harding (who photographed her wedding to ex Wayne Roberts 20 years ago) on a charity edition of Channel 4 show First Dates in aid of Stand Up 2 Cancer. Now Talk of the Town has learned the amorous pair have spent the last few days in Adare in Limerick.

They stayed in the luxurious Adare Manor but were also spotted enjoying drinks in Bill Chawke’s Bar and strolling around the picture-postcard perfect town. But could their cosy getaway have had an alternative more romantic mission?

Sources tell me that after having a few drinks they asked locals for directions to the Holy Trinity Church in the small village. Interesting...
