Former Spice Girl Mel B appointed ambassador to UK by Caribbean island

Former Spice Girl Melanie ‘Mel B’ Brown has been named the UK Tourism Ambassador for the Caribbean island of Nevis.

Her appointment - by the Nevis Tourism Authority - is with immediate effect and as part of her new role, she will support in raising the profile of this small destination.

Melanie's father comes from Nevis, which is part of the Leeward islands, and she first travelled there as a child. The singer visited again in 2018 to pay her respects following the passing of her paternal great-grandmother, who reached the age of 107.
