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.

"It would be funny, like ’drop, kick ball change.’ Everybody would be like ’what are you doing?’ Although Emma could do it because she did the English version."

While Mel is concentrating on doing her best on the show each week, she can’t wait to get back to spicing it up with the girls this winter.

"The ideas for the show are amazing," she admits.

"I can’t actually wait to get in it. It’s going to be a journey and a half."

Dancing With The Stars is set to air in the UK on UKTV tonight (Friday).


Mel becomes a lady - Oct 2 2007
Mel B has swapped life as Scary Spice to become Lady Spice in an episode of US Dancing With The Stars.

The Spice Girl, who is one of the favourites to win the dancing competition, had to take etiquette lessons to improve her posture, as she prepared to do the Quickstep.

"I want to show America I can be a lady. I’m going from Scary Spice to Lady Spice," Mel said before her performance, smiling.

And her efforts paid off, as the judges awarded her top marks. Both the judges from BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing - Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli - gave Mel eight out of a possible 10, as her husband Stephen Belafonte watched proudly from the audience.

Len said: "You held the floor beautifully," and Bruno added gushingly: "You have the twinkle-toes of Ginger Rogers. What a makeover. It worked!"

Mel’s response? "Keeping it all together was difficult, but I’m happy. I’m very very happy!"
