"It's been amazing doing this job. I never thought I'd be modelling underwear at 34 and with two kids."

Her life in the USA has been tumultous with numerous allegations of affairs, most notably with Eddie Murphy in 2005-2007 with whom she had a baby, and then lesbian affairs which she was rumoured to have had after she was seen kissing with a female film executive Christine Crokos in 2004.

Now that her life has settled back down, Melanie is keen to
get back in touch with the her former bandmates from the Spice Girls recently pictured having dinner with them.

"I went out with the Spice Girls...it was really nice. We had steak and chips and some wine. Victoria wasn't there but we were emailing her. The rest of us all swapped baby stories!"

However, despite now being 'Spice Mums' Mel B denies suggestions that they are any less fun! - "Us girls like to have fun." she said "I work hard and I enjoy myself"
