A former television star from the 90s has recently made a major change in her career. The former Fun House gameshow host, who appeared on the popular show from 1989 to 1999, has now taken on the role of a pub bartender.
The show, which aired on ITV, featured schoolchildren competing in various challenges within a soft playhouse. It was hosted by radio DJ Pat Sharp, who was joined by twin cheerleaders Melanie and Martina Grant. The sisters, who first appeared on screen as extras in a BBC show, became regulars on Fun House for the next 10 years.
After the show ended, the Grant sisters decided to step out of the spotlight. However, 25 years later, Melanie has found herself back in the public eye, but this time behind a bar at a Wetherspoons pub in Kent. She is now the team leader at the Royal Victoria Pavilion, the largest Wetherspoons in the UK.
Melanie expressed her love for her new job, stating that it is perfect for her as she is a people person and enjoys chatting with the customers. Many of the pub's patrons recognize her from her days on Fun House and enjoy reminiscing about the show with her.
The sisters have also remained close with Pat, who has since ditched his iconic mullet hairstyle. In fact, when Melanie applied for her job at Wetherspoons, her boss was a big fan of the show and customers often recognize her from her past television days.
In a recent interview, Martina revealed that she and her sister stumbled upon the opportunity to be on Fun House when they were 15 years old. They saw an ad in the Stage, a popular publication for actors, looking for "crazy twins." They ended up driving their parents' motorhome to the audition in Scotland and the rest is history.
Even though it has been decades since their Fun House days, the show has stuck in people's minds and is considered a nostalgic favorite. The sisters have reunited with Pat on television a few times and even shared throwback photos to celebrate his birthday.
It is clear that the Grant sisters have fond memories of their time on Fun House and have found success in their own unique paths after the show ended.
