She told M.E.N that same year: “For me, my relationship with Boddies has never ended. There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t mention it to me in all those 21 years since the first campaign.”

What is Melanie Sykes up to in 2021?
Melanie appears to be completely focused on her new digital magazine, The Frank Magazine.
She serves as editor-in-chief and regularly dishes out honest advice and observations.
The magazine is described as: “An online platform which covers, psychology, relationships, health and wellbeing, culture, news, sustainable fashion, beauty and lifestyle.”
Just last year Melanie took to the platform to brand British men as severely lacking.
She penned: “Sadly most men are pretty basic and disappointing.
“I feel sorry for British men who have adopted the limited vocabulary of character Keith Lemon when talking to women.”
Adding: “I would be surprised, and indeed it would be a miracle if any of these men are actually getting laid.”
Meanwhile she co-hosts The Great Pottery Throw Down on Channel 4. The latest series reached its finale in March of this year.

Melanie was married to actor Daniel Caltagirone from 2001-2009. And then roofer Jack Cockings from 2013-2016.
