Mel B on Welfare


Only last month Mel B was enjoying a shopping trip in New York, staying in a top class hotel and sampling all the trappings of fame.

This week she's been in Yorkshire attempting to see how far she can stretch £120 (about $200 USD) between a family of six for seven days. The former Spice Girl has joined other famous (British stars you probably never heard of) faces in a reality show designed to see how they'd fare on welfare.

She was left to care for Elaine Henry's five children while she was put up in a hotel. And it didn't take long before Mel, formerly known as Scary Spice, was making some changes. It's thought she splashed most of her cash on painting and decorating (I guess five kids don't eat) the rundown row house, which was constantly monitored by the show's producers and the police.

Her presence has certainly been felt in the neighbourhood. One resident said, 'We've seen more police cars this week than in the whole year.'

(I hope they copy this show here.)

  2. Scary spice would do anything for some shine and some change. Those kids are going to grow up knowing their mother is an equal opportunity whore sex stripping reality tv you name it she'll do it

  3. More stars here in the U.S. should be on this show. They would think twice about throwing money away on big chains and fast cars. Not to mention strippers and expensive liquor.

  4. I don't think an American sports star or celebrity could make it work. They are all so spoiled. You see Mel went and wasted the money they gave her. That tells you what she is doing with Angel Iris' Eddie money. It is going to "decorate". Probably decorate mommy's body and her bald step daddy's head.
