The Old Spice has accepted a role in the new ITV show, Superstar.

Mel will be on the judging panel searching for someone to play the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Then she shall switch to the stage to take on the role of biblical harlot, Mary Magdalene.

According to the New Testment, Mary changed her ways after meeting Jesus – who washed her feet.

Today she is an important figure to millions of Christians.

Unlike her biblical character, reports say Mel is to do very well financially from the deal.

A five-figure contract was offered by show bosses whom she impressed.

“I am absolutely delighted,” said Mel.

“It’s been an incredible experience so far and I just can’t wait for the nation to decide who will be playing Jesus in the amazing arena tour of the production.”

Also judging Saviour hopefuls on the show are Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Dawn French and Jason Donovan for the show after wowing audiences during the first episodes of the ITV show last weekend.
