Melanie Sykes 'wants long-lasting love with Italian toyboy' after sizzling fling
They have said goodbye again for the second time but it's said among friends that Melanie Sykes thinks gondolier Ricky could be her perfect man
Mel Sykes reportedly wants a future with her Italian toyboy lover.
The TV personality, 50, returned to Venice to rekindle the flames of her whirlwind six day fling with gondolier Riccardo Simionato, 23.
They have said goodbye again for the second time but it's said among friends that Mel thinks Ricky could be her perfect man.
"After a crap year, Mel's hopeful this is her happy ending - she's in love with Ricky," her friends told new! magazine.
"She hasn't found lasting love before and she really wants that.
"She's been wanting to find the perfect man and she thinks it could be him."
Mirror Online reached out to Melanie Sykes' representatives for further comment.
Mel didn't shy away from PDA when she reignited the passion of her six day fling with Ricky in recent days.
She has since touched back on home turf in the UK.
The presenter has been unlucky in love with two failed marriages.
First off, she was married to Daniel Caltagirone from 2001 until 2009.
They have two children Roman, 18, and Valentino, 16, together.
Later, she walked down the aisle with Jack Cockings in 2013 but it didn't work out and ended in 2016.
