A 90s pop icon whose hits in raked her in over £8million has quit the limelight to whip up delicious burgers.
Mel Blatt – the pop star turned posh burger maker – has admitted she secretly loves McDonald’s.
The member of 90s girl band All Saints – whose legendary songs include 2000s hit Pure Shores – has turned her back on music.
The 50-year-old mum-of-one now makes gourmet burgers – costing up to £20 – in a pub.
She flips patties in the Londesborough boozer in Stoke Newington, north London.
But in an old podcast she coughed to liking a cheeky Maccies – where a Big Mac meal costs £7.59.
Asked where she likes to eat, The I Know Where It’s At singer said: “McDonald’s every time.
“I’m sorry.
“It is my favourite restaurant, I can’t lie.”
She added on Crazy Sexy Food podcast – hosted by Hannah Harley Young in 2022 – she added: “Big Mac Meal, Coca-Cola.
“Thank you very much.
“If somebody goes ‘Where do you want to eat tonight?’
“I know where I’m going.”
Her favourite meal comes in at over £12 cheaper than the burgers she sells at the pub every Tuesday.
Blatt appeared on Celebrity MasterChef that year alongside the likes of Lisa Snowdon and Danny Jones.
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!
