She's certainly worked hard over the years!
Not sure if adverts are worthy of inclusion but I randomly remembered that she promoted Costa Bingo, on 1st January 2014:  She's cameoed in other artist music videos, including Jay Sean - 2012 (in 2010) and G.R.L. - Vacation (in 2013). Upcoming ventures include: Trailblazers - 28th November 2022, BBC 2 Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test - 4th January 2023, Fox |

That Virgin Media advert... I'd forgotten all about it. It's so random to use a celebrity's likeness like that... I wonder if they actually got Mel B's permission to do that? If not, I wonder if she never knew about it?
