Mel is currently competing in US TV’s Dancing With The Stars as well as rehearsing for the Spice Girls reunion tour, which kicks off on December 2.

"We’re kind of the same, except we’re 10 years older," said 32-year-old Mel of the girls. "We’re more classy. Between the five of us, we’ve got seven kids."

Mel also revealed she and Stephen often take Phoenix, eight, and Angel, six months, over to David and Victoria Beckham’s house for play dates with their kids.

However, the Spice Girl reportedly wouldn’t reveal anything about visitation arrangements with Angel’s father Eddie Murphy.

"I can’t talk about that," she said. "The situation is what it is - and I’ve got a beautiful daughter."

She added: "I’m too happy to be depressed about anything. My life is so fruitful. I’ve got a great husband. Things are all good."


Mel B angry at Spice no-show? - Nov 1 2007
Mel B is reportedly furious that none of the other Spice Girls have been to see her perform on the US series Dancing With The Stars.

The girls are all currently in the US making preparations for their forthcoming tour - but none showed up to see her perform the rumba on Monday night.

"The shows means a lot to Mel B and it was a big disappointment that the other girls weren’t there," a source to the Daily Star.

"Her husband Stephen Belafonte has been backing her all the way, but it would have been nice for her to have her bandmates cheering her on too.

"They may have had their reasons for not being there - but it looks like a snub."

The girls did record a video message urging viewers to get behind Mel - and Emma joked: "We need her in - because then she’s not with us!"


Mel B: I don’t believe in diets - Oct 23 2007
Mel B has revealed that she has lost three stone since giving birth in April - but hasn’t been on a diet.

The Spice Girl - who is busy with the her band mates preparing for the group’s comeback tour - told Reveal magazine: "I put on four-and-a-half stone during my pregnancy, and I have lost three stone, but I don’t worry about the way i look.

"I do the two most important things to keep in shape - working out and eating healthily. I don’t believe in diets, I believe in listening to your body and being consistent."

The 32-year-old insisted she hasn’t gone to any drastic measures to lose the pounds.

"If you want a burger, have one, but balance it out the next day by eating salmon and vegetables."

She continued: "I work out every other day with my trainer, and I do long hikes rather than go to a sweaty gym.

"Losing weight was never my motivation. I just had the urge to work out again because I hadn’t started out during my pregnancy."


Mel B’s dance show nerves - Oct 15 2007
The Spice Girls’ reunion tour is kicking off in December, but Mel B admits it’s her current gig on US TV’s Dancing With The Stars which makes her more jittery.

"This, I’m nervous, while with that it’s fine," she smiles.

"With the Spice Girls, I’m with my four mates and it doesn’t matter if I do a wrong dance move or the wrong step out of time. It’s fine. Here, it’s all technical."

However, Scary Spice doesn’t think she’s going to be incorporating her new found waltzing skills in the Spice tour.

"No! I’m doing it just for selfish reasons that’s all," she laughs.
