Mel was a presenter on the show Red Hot/Pitch Roulette from 10 September 2007 until May 2008 when the show ceased using live presenters. This information is based on reports from various quiz-based message boards. In 2010, Mel began presenting Roulette Nation on Challenge Jackpot and Virgin 1 stations. Mel has had other televission duties as well, such as being a woman-on-the-street interviewer for a celebrity gossip channel or the co-host of a music video show.
