Swell Mel's the Ultimo

NOW that's a global upturn! Sexy Spice Girl Mel B is helping women buck the credit crunch - by boosting their assets in the bedroom.

Hot Scot Emma George is one housewife operating on a g-string budget.

The 29-year-old of Ruchazie, Glasgow, said: "It can get boring staying in all the time so it's nice to spice things up. Sexy scanties are the perfect way to do it."

And there's no chance of Scots knicker firm Ultimo going bust with 34DD Mel, 32, fronting its campaign. Michelle Mone, 35, is opening SEVEN new Debenhams concessions.

It just proves there is profit in lust!
