SO Solid Crew star Lisa Maffia has revealed that she's cleaning loos and emptying bins at the local church, 23 years after her Brit Award win.
The popular hitmaker, 45, was of course part of the much-adored So Solid Crew, which consisted of a huge line-up, with the most notable being Lisa, MC Harvey, Asher D and Romeo.

In October, 2001, the UK act released their first album, They Don't Know, which performed moderately well on the UK charts.
But it was their breakout single 21 Seconds that would carry the band's major success throughout the year.
The song went platinum within weeks, and it seemed like everything was looking up for the new group.
Now, Lisa has appeared in a new video, showing herself volunteering in a role a far cry from her music career.
The star is part of CityGate church, and she offers her services for the church, which can include welcoming people as they arrive, teaching or caring for kids during services, playing music or singing, managing sound, slides, or livestream, and preparing the building for services or events.
Lisa appeared to be doing the latter as she shared a video of herself on social media hoovering the church and then putting bin bags into the bins.
So Solid Crew's Lisa, dressed in a casual black top and trousers, also scrubbed all of the sinks in the toilets.
It comes after the 45-year-old left fans doing a double take last year - with fans saying "you're ageing backwards".
The singer-songwriter showed off her youthful looks as she holidayed in Dubai.
The rapper posted sizzling mirror selfies of her posing braless in an orange strappy top and a skintight silver metallic skirt.
She also showed off her incredible figure in a lime green satin dress, before slipping into a one-piece swimsuit and patterned kimono.
Lisa also flashed her trim waist and toned pins in a black crop top and cream midi skirt.
She simply captioned it: "Dubai outfits."
Many fans raced to comment, with one writing: "Finer than wine," while a second posted: "Okay babes the fit is fitting."

And a third added: "Just beautiful."
Lisa has paved a successful career in the showbiz industry, and in 2002, So Solid Crew went on to helm their own Channel 4 documentary called This Is So Solid, which only helped to boost their popularity with the British public.
But when their sophomore album 2nd Verse hit the market in 2003, it landed at number 70 on the UK chart.
It wasn't long before members such as Lisa would attempt to start a solo career away from the group, causing the group to disband.
