It comes after the star flouted strict COVID-19 rules by flying to Italy to see her toyboy lover and not quarantining on her return to London.
Melanie was snapped in Venice visiting gondolier Riccardo on November 21, before flying home to the UK and parading around London on November 24.
Melanie shared photos of herself at The May Fair Hotel, inside on a bed, and strutting around on the street.
The presenter claimed to be filming at the posh venue, with ITN later apologising for not adhering to covid-19 protocols.
Four days apart: The star flouted strict COVID-19 rules by flying to Italy to see her toyboy lover and not quarantining on her return to London at the end of last month
What pandemic? ITN productions later apologised for filming with Melanie without adhering to COVID-19 protocols following her return from Venice last month
‘Filming with Melanie Sykes was mistakenly conducted without taking into account the covid protocols necessary after travel,’ a spokesperson said in a statement.
‘There was no deliberate attempt to break any rules. We apologise for the error and have reminded our teams of all covid protocols.’
At the time, England was in its last week of a second national lockdown, with only essential travel being permitted and citizens were being told to stay at home.
Those that must travel – including British nationals – then had to self-isolate for a strict 14-day period.
Melanie and the gondolier, who is 27 years her junior, first enjoyed a six-day romance in Venice in October, after she paid him £72 for a half hour’s ride on his gondola.
She shared glimpses of her romantic getaway with Riccardo to Instagram in November, with the couple recently enjoying a day out in Lake Garda.
Shrewd: She later posted some evening snaps of her views across Venice with one follower asking – ‘If you were there a week ago, how come you’re not self isolating?
