Nineties pop legend shares video from the London pub where she works making burgers as she shares exciting update on new career venture
Nineties pop star Melanie Blatt shared a video from the London pub where she is working making gourmet burgers as she shared an exciting update. The All Saints singer, 50, has taken a career turn as she has started working as a chef at The Londesborough pub in Stoke Newington, North London. She has launched a new food business called FullFillings and her stint at the pub is part of the venue's celebrity chef residency on Tuesdays. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Melanie confirmed some exciting news as she revealed she will expanding her residency and also cooking at the pub this Friday. 'Alright guys, I'm looking shocking today, extra shocking! But this is my shameless plug to come and eat my burgers tomorrow, come on, I know you want to,' she said. 'It's a good way to start the week off I think. I've already been in the kitchen for so long already and it's only 1.30pm. 'Anyway come at my burgers! Also exciting news for me, and hopefully for you as well, I'm serving my burgers on Friday as well, this Friday coming.' Melanie was one of the biggest pop stars of the 1990s and rose to fame in All Saints alongside Shaznay Lewis and Natalie and Nicole Appleton. They sold 10million records worldwide, scored five UK number one singles, won two BRIT Awards and were household names after first shooting to fame in 1997. When the band finally drifted in different directions in 2001, Melanie then had a stab at a solo singing career before later taking various parts in reality TV shows. She worked on ITV show The Hot Desk alongside bandmate Nicole, Dave Berry and Emma Willis and was also a judge/mentor on an overseas version of The X Factor. Showing off her love of cooking, Melanie then took part in Celebrity Masterchef in 2022 and has now taken her culinary skills to the next level. Melanie made her professional debut as a chef at The Londesborough earlier this month and her residency will take place every Tuesday for the foreseeable future. On Melanie's first night, the residency had only been soft launched with with no mention of the celebrity chef anywhere on the menu. Its only public announcement came in an announcement on Melanie's Instagram page as the pub held back on publicising its new venture to start off with. In fact, some visitors appeared to be oblivious to the fact that one of the most famous popstars of the nineties was hard at work in the kitchen. One diner eating her beef burger was incredulous on being told who had cooked it - and insisted on going over to peer into the kitchen to confirm it. MailOnline sampled Melanie's signature beef burger to find that in typical Masterchef fashion, it subverts the classic burger by substituting the usual seared minced steak for slow cooked beef moulded into a patty. The patty was served in a brioche bun with manchego cheese and pickled red onions and a side of fries and a rich gravy dip came on the side, for a total of £20. Also up for grabs was the companion chicken burger, which was similarly presented but this time with jerk flavouring notes, on offer for £19. There was also a novelty macaroni cheese burger on her short menu and the dishes have gone down a treat with diners. MailOnline spoke to friends of Melanie who had travelled from Hertfordshire to support her amid her new venture. One told us: 'She's been really hyped about this and has been prepping and practising for days ahead of her debut. 'We all know she's a brilliant cook but there's a big difference from doing it in your own kitchen to being able to produce it to demand on your own for a busy pub. 'She's intent on meeting her own high standards and wants this to work so much.' During her first night, Melanie did pause briefly to pose for a photo and said: 'I'm enjoying it but I haven't got time to chat!'
