Melissa says Wife Swap makers only ‘showed what they wanted’

THE first Irish housewife to feature in TV show, Wife Swap, hit out at the programme’s makers last night for being selective and not showing the full story.

Former model Melissa Maverley, 28, spoke out ahead of what has been billed as one of the series’ most explosive episodes to be screened on Channel 4 tonight.

Melissa and her husband, Peter, 45, live in a €1 million mansion in Kinsale, Co Cork. House-proud Melissa spent two weeks living with chain-smoking Paul, a dole-drawing gambler, and his five children, in a tiny house on a council estate in Northumberland, near Newcastle.
