Melanie has been announced as the spokesperson for a new range of ‘Talking Packs’ of sugar from Tate & Lyle.
The campaign was put together in order to educate the public on cane sugar, following research revealing that nearly half (46%) of people in the UK don't know what Muscivado is. 
With almost one in ten (8%) Brits believing that Muscovado is an alcoholic beverage, videos of baking lover Melanie will now be featured on 'Talking Packs' of sugar to educate the nation on the vast range of golden and brown cane sugars available.

Melanie's unique voice will now be featured on all packs via a Blippar app allowing shoppers to use their smartphones to 'Blipp' packs of sugar in order to download special videos of Mel pronouncing the names of the sugars, as well as explaining how to use them.
To launch the campaign a series of stunning images sees Melanie pose amongst some sweet treats in some gorgeous gowns.
The brunette can be seen lounging on an ornate chaise lounge, with an intricate beaded strapless dress hugging her curves.

Melanie has spoken of her excitement at being involved in the unusual campaign, revealing her love of baking motivated her to take the job:
‘Becoming the voice of Tate & Lyle Sugars has truly opened my eyes to what an incredible world baking is. Muscovado, and other golden and brown cane sugars, really can add exciting flavours and so much more than sweetness to baked treats.’

‘I'm hoping that seeing my videos on Talking Packs of Tate & Lyle Sugars will give bakers and shoppers like me the confidence to pick up more than just a bag of their regular white sugar, and inspire them to be a little more creative in the kitchen’.  
Whilst she may be looking forward to getting in the kitchen as part of her new role, Mel recently revealed that she works hard to maintain her slim figure.
The TV personality admitted that she has a strict routine of sit-ups, crunches and Russian twists every single day.

Melanie, who recently married her toyboy lover Jack Cockings in May, told MailOnline: 'On a good week if I'm not working I get in the gym between three and five times a week, an hour a time.
'I started training about four years ago. I was approaching 40 and just thought it would be quite good to get fit... I was slim, but it wasn't about that, it was about getting a bit fitter.'
