She added that football was a whole new world for her and didn't understand why it was such a big deal. Christine explained: 'I went to an all-girls' school, I didn't have brothers. Football just wasn't a thing. I couldn't have cared less. And then, suddenly, I started to care. 'The more I went to the games, the more I got it. I thought, 'Oh my god, I see why people are into this. There is something magical about it'.'

Mel Blatt reveals flipping burgers in new job is MORE fulfilling than time in All Saints and admits ‘it's for me'
MEL Blatt has revealed flipping burgers is more fulfilling than her time in girlband All Saints. The Pure Shores songstress admitted "it's nice to do something for me" as she opened up on her new job in a pub kitchen, whipping up her brand Full Fillings' tasty treats. 6 6 6 Mel, 50, appeared on Thursday's Good Morning Britain and talked of her new venture, which we reported on back in April. ITV anchor Richard Madeley, 69, made a play on her firm's business name and asked her if her Tuesday night residency at The Londesborough in Stoke Newington was "more fulfilling" than her pop heyday. Mel candidly replied: "At this moment in time it is. "It's really nice to do something for just me, my ego is enjoying this a little bit. "Being in a band was so amazing but it's shared experiences, opinions are shared. "Every decision is shared between four. Mel rose to fame in 1997 as a member of the girl group All Saints along with Nicole and Natalie Appleton and Shaznay Lewis. During their heyday the group had five number one singles, two multi-platinum albums, two Brit Awards and have sold over 10 million records worldwide. MasterChef's Mel Blatt fights back the tears after judges give her critique on her food After four years together, All Saints parted ways in 2001. Later in the chat, the Never Ever hitmaker then opened up on the prospect of an All Saints reunion. When quizzed by Richard about a comeback, she said: "Honestly I don't think so. "The stage for me isn't my happy place any more." HAPPY PLACE Instead, the kitchen - with tunes blasting out on the radio - is her preferred way to earn cash. Her culinary talents were on display previously, on Celebrity MasterChef 's 17th season. She reached the final back in 2022 after impressing with her beef and pancetta pie in the first round, and then sparked a fix row when she lost to Lisa Snowdon. The pop princess then returned to the show to assist with the judges during a later series. Now, mum of one Mel serves up her Fullfillings grub in the London eatery's celebrity chef spot. The menu has previously included a slow cooked beef patty or jerk chicken option, served up with chunky chips and gravy. A macaroni cheese burger is also a mouth watering option for veggies. Earlier this year, Mel took to her Instagram page to launch her new venture at the pub - as well as her new business brand. Alongside a series of snaps from her time in the kitchen she wrote: "This was the day I turned 50! "I spent it cooking for the people I love I thought it was the perfect moment to launch my new business @fullfillingsfood. "I'll be at @thelondesborough every Tuesday. Follow the FullFillings page for updates." In another upload, showing her with a fresh face and blonde hair tied up in a ponytail she wrote: "Chucking my dignity and vanity in the bin to bring you a day in the life prepping for a Tuesday @fullfillingsfood takeover @thelondesborough." 6 6 6
