We’re seeing double! Mel B & Mel B reflect on what a f***in’ year 2019 has been in new E4 special

6 December 2019

For the first time in more than 10 years, Leigh Francis’ most memorable Bo’ Selecta impersonation comes face to face with his intended parody – Spice Girl Mel B - in a one-off 90-minute special on 17 December at 9pm on E4.  

What a F***in’ Year on TV with Mel B & Mel B celebrates an entire year packed full of ‘reet good’ telly as the two Mels hang out together in her apartment in Leeds. Donning the classic leopard print dress, surrounded by party food and a fridge full of bevvies, the Mels will give their honest and brutal opinion on the TV moments that have made us laugh out loud and shed a tear over the past year.

What a F***in’ Year on TV with Mel B & Mel B will be filled to the brim with famous catchphrases, outrageous TV clips, satirical sketches and a few celebrity cameos dropping by for a gossip.

Melanie Brown said: “I’m so excited to do this show because 2019 has been one hell of a year and I get to share all of it with ME - or rather Leigh as me. It’s going to be funny, fabulous, fantastic and completely crazy. Even I don’t know what to expect except it’s going to be hilarious. Fasten your seat belts for a review of the year like no other.” 

Jon Petrie, Comedy Commissioning Editor for Channel 4 said: “We are excited that Leigh Francis is bringing this infamous Bo Selecta character back to life for a one off special. It’ll be a lovely Christmas treat watching Mel B dissect this year’s telly with her foul-mouthed alter ego. It’s certainly an interesting alternative to ‘The Snowman’…”
