Melanie Sykes was a regular on the small screen, co-hosting shows such as Today with Des and Mel with Des O'Connor and Let's Do Lunch, with Gino D'Acampo. However, the star has barely been seen on TV since her on appearance on Celebrity Masterchef in 2021. Now, she has opened up about just why she quit her TV career for good.
The 52-year-old, fun-loving TV presenter, says she no longer has any interest in pursuing a career in mainstream TV since being part of Celebrity Masterchef. In fact, she has vowed to never return to her TV presenting roots after her experience on the show. According to a report in the Mirror, she says that at times, she felt as though she was 'thrown under the bus'.
Melanie's TV presenting career began by hosting Sky One’s Real TV UK series in the mid-90s, and she went on to appear on shows including The Big Breakfast, The Paul O’Grady Show, and she also competed on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off. She now says that she has set her sights on a new venture.
