The bubbly blondes, who appeared alongside host Pat Sharp from 1989, appeared week after week waving their pom-poms while dressed in identical yellow and red cheerleading outfits.
Melanie would support the red team and Martina would appear alongside the yellow team.
These days, the pair, who are both 50, are mums but they are still able to make a career out of their Fun House days by appearing at various parties and events.

to have a giant set built and the doors thrown open to the public to play all the ‘wacky’ games that were seen on the CITV show.

The appeal has been fully backed by Pat (he will even sign balls for you if you pledge £10 towards the cause) who has taken to social media to spread the news.
“THIS. IS. OUR. NEWS! Together we can re-run the fun! Support our campaign to #BringBackFunHouse,” the host wrote on Twitter as the campaign was unveiled.
He endorsed a new catchphrase for the show returning, retweeting a fan and adding: “Fund the Funhouse! I like it.”
