7 Days on the Breadline: 3 November 2009

For some, just getting by is a struggle, and then Mel B comes round to help you out. The main problem if you end up with her rather than, I don't know, any of the other celebrities on the programme, is that she thinks belonging to a gym actually does improve your quality of life. Whereas most people think of a gym visit as a punishment, and this includes most people who live outside of the rich areas of Los Angeles, she insisted on seeing her offer of free membership as a reward. Along with her taste in tracksuits and her belief that people who live on council estates are a charitable concern, I would whole heartedly oppose any application she makes to be a social worker.
