The gorgeous Mel got into modelling after placing highly in competition run by a men's mag.
Page 3 fame followed suit, and our Mel became a firm favourite thanks to her butter-wouldn't-melt looks and stunning bod.
Born in Sittingbourne, Kent and now living in Essex (with brief stays in Canada and Morecambe), Mel worked in a budget supermarket and also – would you believe – as a bus driver.
But her lucky, lucky ex-boyfriend saw the potential in her and sent some snaps to a men's magazine. The rest, as they say, is history.
Mel moved to London and made a name a name for herself as one of the most photogenic models in the business. She also gained attention from other, erm, areas.
Yes, in 2005 some news arrived that made every red-blooded male in the country keel over with excitement – Mel and Page 3 colleague Becky were in love.
Her relationship with the cheeky blonde made headlines around the country and it also marked the end of Mel as a solo model – they now came as a double act!
Sizzling pics of the pair came thick and fast until - to the dismay of Page 3 fans – the lovers called time on their affair after only a year.
Mel is now back as a superstar in her own right and will no doubt continue to get pulses racing for a long time to come.
