Well here she is......THE CREAM OF MANCHESTER

Melanie Sykes was born on the 7th August 1970 in Mossley, the Cream Of Manchester. She first came to public attention as the bikini-clad girl in the Boddingtons beer adverts with the broad Northern accent. She has appeared in many adverts including Berlei and now fronts the new Matalan adverts.
She was born of an Anglo Indian mum and an Italian father and is generally accepted as one of the best looking British TV presenters/actresses around in her age bracket.
Although maybe better known for her TV roles especially Today with Des and Mel and The Vault she has done a good deal of radio work and presents a weekly show The A List which is a national radio chart show based on total sales, produced at the studios of Heart 106.2 in London
