Mel, 35, found Stephen’s secret stash of toys and gadgets on the latest episode of her US reality series It’s A Scary World.
The hoard of techno stuff was hidden in their bedroom closet and contained binoculars, a head massager, a head spa and an obstacle game controlled with your mind.
“What is all this stuff … You know how nerdy this is?” asked Mel.
Stephen explained the purchases were all from the US airline magazine SkyMall, a company that delivers gadgets to your door after ordering them on trips.
“I’m addicted to it,” said Stephen. “I don't care, I’ll be a nerd but I love my little stuff. I love the little gadgets. I could be at a strip club right now but instead I collect these little things.”
Replied Mel: “Ive married a nerd ... I’d rather you be at the strip club!”
But later on in the episode Mel was caught trying out the head massage device.
She said: “Just for the record it doesn't mean I approve, I just like that thing, the head massage – that's it. I was tidying up Angel’s room and I found it in there. It's not that bad – I actually liked it.”
