Mel B gets in the summer spirit as she peels off for Ultimo

After wowing Las Vegas with her sexy burlesque act, it's perhaps no surprise to see Mel B is keeping her role as the face and body of Ultimo.

Over a year after she first modelled for the Scottish lingerie firm, the former Spice Girl is showing off her toned figure again in the new summer ads.

In contrast to the racy, lacy underwear she sports in her Peepshow Vegas act, the 33-year-old shows her girlie side as she models pretty pastel shades.

Shot earlier this year on location in the hills above Los Angeles, the mother-of-two displays her six pack and impressive cleavage in a selection of feminine undies.

The artist formerly known as Scary Spice first attracted Ultimo's attention with her post-baby figure in a bikini after the birth of daughter Angel in 2007.

After originally slimming down by training for Dancing with the Stars (the U.S. version of Strictly Come Dancing), Mel B got her figure even further in shape with a new workout regime.

She released her fitness DVD Totally Fit: Mel B last Christmas, before embarking on a tough training schedule preparing for her Vegas show, which opened last month.

In between wowing the crowds in Sin City, Mel B managed to squeeze in some time to model the latest collection for Ultimo, including the best-selling Plunge Bra.

Mel B said: “The photoshoot in LA was fantastic. Ultimo lingerie gives you a superb shape and is so comfortable, with sexy styles in every collection.

'I took every set home with me. The lingerie is stunning, there is something to suit every women, from everyday bras to sexy fashion bras and key lingerie solution garments.'

Michelle Mone, creator of Ultimo, added: 'When I saw Mel B in our designs for this shoot, I was totally blown away.

'She has the perfect female form, great curves, boobs, a bum - all the assets of a sexy, healthy woman. She also looked amazing in our plunge bra, which is one of our top sellers.'

Writing on her website earlier this month, Mel admitted she was unsure if she would continue to perform in Vegas after her contract ends in June.

She said: 'I thought I was going to be extending my contract in Vegas, but as it looks as of today it doesn’t look like it.

'But at the end of June I can get cracking on my album.'

The new Spring/Summer 2009 collection, as modelled by Mel B, is available from Debenhams stores nationwide and online at Ultimo’s new website www.ultimo.co.uk
