Pail O'Neill, Mel's Younger brother on Mel: "I suppose Mel was a bit of a tomboy, because she always had lots of mates who were lads, They were really good fun and I used to mess about with them quite a bit. She always gets on well with lads and I get on really well with girls, probably because I grew up with a really nice sister. I was always able to talk to her, and as a result, I've always respected her."
