Melanie Louise de Vere was born on 15 March 1971 in Plymouth, Devon. She was the second of the three children of David C. de Vere and Margaret H. De Vere née Budd. Her brother, Frederick Simon C. de Vere, was born in 1968 and her sister, Ruth Helen de Vere, was born in 1973. Telephone directories list her father in 1971 at 31 Easterdown Close, Plymouth.

When she was 5 years old the family moved to Portsmouth, Hampshire, and telephone directories in 1976 show her father at 16 Sea Grove Avenue, Hayling Island. She attended Mengham Junior School, Hayling Island and went on to Oaklands Catholic School in Waterlooville, Hampshire.
