Celebrity Masterchef 2022 is now underway, with plenty of Londoners taking part in this year’s series.

One of those is Melanie Blatt, who rose to fame as a member of the all-girl group All Saints, with the band being formed in the capital almost 30 years ago in 1993.

This year’s series has a star studded line-up, including former heavyweight boxer Christ Eubank, former McFly star Danny Jones and more, as they take on baking challenges and fight it out to be crowned Celebrity Masterchef champion.

When the cast of Celebrity Masterchef 2022 was announced, Blatt took to her official Instagram page to say: “I can’t believe this is actually happening! Masterchef is one of my all time favourite shows.

“I’ve watched every series so to be a contestant is a dream come true!”

Despite so far impressing judges and viewers alike, Blatt left viewers ‘feeling sick’ after serving up a dish that mainly consisted of peas.

Speaking on the dish, Gregg Wallace said: “It doesn’t have the spectacular appeal of the other dishes, but Mel, you can really cook.”

Who is Melanie Blatt?

Melanie Ruth Blatt is an English singer who rose to great prominence in the 90s as a member of the band All Saints.

The band enjoyed great success, and together they had five number one singles, two multi-platinum albums and two BRIT Awards.

As well as their trophy laden run, they have sold over 10 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, and the second best-selling girl group in the UK.

In 2003, she began to pursue a solo career, releasing her debut solo single "Do Me Wrong" in the same year.

She was later dropped by her record label, and her first solo album was cancelled.

Two years later she was back, releasing a single named “See Me” and was gearing up to release a solo album, but that was put on hold in favour of an All Saints reunion.

Aside from releasing music, in 2013 and 2015, Blatt was a judge on the television series The X Factor NZ.
