Melinda Messenger first came to prominence in the United Kingdom after an advertising campaign for Glevum Windows. Melinda was banned by the UK`s Advertising Standards Authority for being too sexually suggestive. This led to a successful modelling career beginning with a photo-shoot for the Daily Star newspaper on January 28, 1997, followed by a stint at The Sun`s Page Three, quickly becoming one of their most recognisable Page 3 girls. Soon afterwards, she began her TV career.
