Melinda Messenger makes TV return

Melinda Messenger is returning to TV as host of a new daytime talk show.

She is teaming up with GMTV showbiz presenter Richard Arnold to present Loose Lips.

The studio-based show will go out five days a week on cable channel LivingTV from next month.

Channel bosses say the "fruity and frothy" mix of celebrity and lifestyle features will knock spots off its rivals.

A spokesman said: "The show is already well on its way to attracting viewers from the existing and more dated TV talk shows.

"It is more upbeat, more fun and with a more direct approach than anything already on screen."
