Melinda Messenger has opened up about working as a grid girl for Eddie Jordan's Formula One team. For example, she states to The Sun that she only just got away from a masseur on the team.
In the 1990s, the British model also worked for Jordan's Formula One team. In the yellow outfits, she was one of the team's grid girls. Even within the team, this sometimes resulted in undesirable moments, the former model now states.

To the British paper, Messenger reveals that there was a masseur on Jordan's team who also offered massages to "the girls". ''In my foolish naivety, I was like, ‘Oooh, a massage, that would be really nice’. But then, while having it, I suddenly thought, ‘No, this is all wrong'. Fortunately I was able to get myself out in the nick of time. I didn’t report him. I put it behind me."
The British woman does not reveal to The Sun when the incident took place in the 1990s. She herself talks about the fact that as a model she experienced many more such incidents, but was always able to defend herself.
