As Melanie already tweeted, she had a photo shoot with John Hooper recently. We have uploaded a selection of these pictures for you now and you can check them out in the gallery section.

Also we would like to thank everyone who took part in our 'We Love To Entertain You' video competition. We received lots of fantastic entries and in the next couple of weeks Melanie will pick her favorite and we'll present you with the compilation video. It's going to be hard to get all the best bits of all the videos into one 3 minute 32 second feature, but we'll manage it! But that's not all, we're also preparing another competition which will be launched in August in which we again need your creative input. Watch this space!

Melanie has been busy at Westfield shopping centre this morning launching the Pampers World of Never-Ending Play, a new interactive event for babies and toddlers which will be touring the UK over the next two months. This is Melanie's debut as the newest member of the Pampers Village Parenting Panel. In between writing and recording her 5th album, she will be sharing her experiences with the nation's mums and dads alongside experts from every area of parenting and family wellbeing.

Melanie says: “I am delighted to be a part of the Pampers Village Parenting Panel. As a mum, I know how challenging it can be to juggle your career and look after your baby at the same time. With a little bit of help, parents can find out about different ways of coping with challenges related to caring for their babies. The Pampers Village Parenting Panel experts, as well as it’s recruited real parents, are an invaluable source of information, providing useful tips related to parenting and family wellbeing. I’m glad I can also take part and share my own experience of being a mum to my little Scarlet.”

Finally some sunshine! Hooray.

Been having a lovely time since finishing in Blood Brothers. It was quite an emotional final performance. I made such great friends and had a brilliant time. Thanks to all of you that came to see the show. Six months, wow, it flew by.

Now I'm really excited to be starting something new. Festival season is almost here. I'm looking forward to seeing some new bands and getting inspired for the new record. Scarlet is looking forward to going to some festivals too after hanging out at Reading last year!
