MELANIE B TURN DOWN APPEARANCE ON CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER

Things may have slowed career-wise for Spice Girl Melanie B recently but she ain’t at rock bottom just yet. UK Tabloid The Sun has reported that the Spice Girl known has knocked back the chance to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.

Apparently, more worthy work in the form of a role in the West End play, The Vagina Monologues, and appearing in the BBC drama, Burn It, is more than enough for Mel to be getting with at the mo. Rumours were rife that the vocal star would consider popping into the house in order to boost her sliding profile, but a spokesman told the Sun: “Mel was approached but she turned it down.” A house-mate who makes more noise than Jade just doesn’t bear thinking about.
