The ITV programme sees contestants join forces with celebrities as they try to decipher the hidden talents of different mystery performers, in the hopes of winning a big cash prize.
Keen to win the competition, Mel said: 'I'm a very competitive person. When I was a kid at school my dad used to take me to the park and train me for sports day and I'd win nearly all the prizes so that's the sort of person I am.
'All my kids are competitive too which made Monopoly games fun during lockdown. We're all screaming and shouting and jumping up and down. But because I'm so competitive I wanted my contestant to win big time.'
I don't think he had planned it liked that to be honest, I was all ready to run for help!'

It comes after Mel spoke out earlier this week about her traumatic experience with domestic abuse.
Mel has previously accused ex-husband Stephen Belafonte of 'emotional and physical abuse', which he has vehemently denied, and has claimed she attempted to leave her marriage for a decade but found it to be an 'impossible' situation.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, she said: 'As a woman that's gone through it, it does crush your soul, it does really strip you… I'm going to be taking forever to get that back.
'I've had to build myself up. One of the good things for me is to speak to other women who have been in a similar situation.'

In the Women's Aid video, the Spice Girl, who is a patron of the charity, appeared beaten and covered in fake bruises as she attempted to flee a violent partner.
She said of the clip: 'You know that's why this video is so important, because it's not just my story, [it's] bits and pieces of my story, but it's every woman's story, it's everybody's voice, because we are dealing with an epidemic.'
She added: 'You put on your armour and you walk out to the world, but behind closed doors it's very, very different.
'It's embarrassing, shameful and you carry so much guilt having to lie and keep that secret. To do this campaign was so important to me.'
