Mel Giedroyc shares her enthusiasm for all life has to offer – and her unique tips for a happy marriage.
It feels almost impossible to disassociate Mel Giedroyc from her partner-in-crime Sue Perkins, and, while she’s best known as one half of the hilarious presenting duo, Mel has several lesser-known strings to her bow. She most recently wrapped up her performance in the London stage production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, while continuing to juggle life as a mum to two teenage daughters.
Mel, who recently turned 50, has no intention of taking it any easier. In fact, she’s found reaching half a century is something to be embraced.
‘Sometimes I think, Do I need to go and get a few little stitches put in on my neck? But then I think I’d get taken the mick out of so badly by friends and family… So, no, we’re not going to go down any of those routes at all. I’m going to enjoy being 50, celebrate it, be honest about it. I’m owning it and it’s going to be great.’
Mel’s planning the biggest party of her life to celebrate in style with friends and family.
‘I think I’m going to set aside three days for the party: It’s going to be big, that’s all I’m saying,’ Mel confesses. ‘There will be a lot of perimenopausal women leaping around, sweating, probably vomiting, maybe a bit of inappropriate snogging, then horrendous regret for about four days, then everything just gets back to normal.’
