Going back to Mel in BB1 she was hated because she flirted with men in the house that had girlfriends, not because of her skin colour.

Debatable.

Mel got a hard time back then. She flirted with all the males, yet Claire (a white female) hooked up with Thomas, who had a girlfriend outside the house. And she didn't get as much of a hard time as Mel (a black woman) did for flirting with a couple of single guys.

Black women have always gotten a hard time on BBUK.

That happened after the series finished, if I remember correctly.

My bad. She flirted with Craig during her time in the house.
Yet, she wasn't as hated as Melanie was.

Claire was kicked out instantly though after 1 week by the public (and it was Craig I'm sure). Mel did it over the whole season so the hate built up.
