From 'back end of a bus' to beauty...

Her ex said she looked like the "back end
of a bus".
But now a former drug addict from Sevenoaks is
enjoying a new lease of life as the result of a glamorous TV
makeover.
Mel Bartropp, 27 (pictured left before the
makeover), was given the transformation as part of Wedding TV’s ‘So
Would You Dump Me Now?’.
It gives recently-dumped women a makeover and then presents
them to their exes – who are asked if they regret their
decision.
She was taken up to London with the show’s
hosts, WAG Lizzie
Cundy and makeup artist Sue Moxley, for a day of pampering in which
she had her teeth, skin and hair revitalised by the best in the
showbusiness world.
Afterwards she was whisked away to rub
shoulders with celebrities at a lavish party.
But Lizzie and Sue didn’t just focus on
boosting Mel’s outer beauty.
As a recovering addict, one of her dreams has
been to warn others of the pitfalls of drugs. Sue arranged for her
to visit her local primary school to talk to children about her
experiences.
The visit was such a success the head teacher
has offered Mel (pictured right after the makeover) a full-time job
at the school.
When the big day came to show Mel’s ex what
he’s missing, things hit a snag - he's serving time in Pentonville
prison!
