Mel Giedroyc’s mother and father both have got this “very well-tuned senses of humor,” and so has Mel, the one half of the comedy duo, ‘Mel and Sue.’
Mel has unitedly co-hosted several TV series, including Light Lunch for Channel 4, The Great British Bake Off for the BBC, and chat show entitled, Mel and Sue with her comedy partner, Sue Perkins.
Mel concluded that comedy was her only calling way early on, and every dilemma about career soon started making sense to her after she met Sue when attending Cambridge.

Mel lived to perfect partnership in her professional life, and that is not a secret anymore. But what people may not yet know is that she also shares a likewise alliance in her private part of life.

Forced to put a halt in her job after having two daughters, Flossie and Vita- a year apart and both in their teens, sure enough, would have been a different story altogether.
