Mel B has secured herself her very first role in a TV drama series. Titled ‘Burn It’, it’ll be proudly brought to you from the producers of hit TV show, ‘Queer As Folk’.

The 10-part series, about a group of fast-living friends in Manchester, has just gone into production for BBC Choice and it’s said that it’ll be broadcast later this year.

A spokeswoman told the papers “Yes. She’s in it. People are thinking it’s going to be the Mel B show. There are six characters altogether.”

Also known as Scary Spice, Mel B will star together with Lisa Faulkner in the series. Playing the other 20-somethings will be Kieron O’Brien and Chris Coghill, who both appeared in ’24 Hour Party People’, Marsha Thomason from ‘Love In The 21st Century’, and William Ash, who appeared in ‘Clocking Off’ and ‘Playing The Field’.
