Super fit Mel B shows off her hula hoop skills - in sky high heels

Mel B didn't let a little thing like a pair of five inch heels stand in the way of an opportunity to work out yesterday.

The ex-Spice girl showed off her impressive hula hoop skills as she filmed scenes for her new reality TV show in Los Angeles.

Mel had matched her electric blue platform heels to her vest top, finishing off the look with some lace panelled black leggings.

Mel took a little time out from her exercising to fit in some retail therapy, checking out the clothes in a nearby store before spotting the perfect anti-paparazzi gift, a 'go away' doormat.

Mel's new reality TV show, currently titled The Mel B Project will be broadcast in the U.S. on the Style Network.

The ten episode run will follow the entertainer as she balances being a singer, actress, wife and mother.

Viewers will also get to see Mel's husband Stephen Belafonte and daughters, Phoenix, 11 and 3-year-old Angel, her child with Eddie Murphy.

Mel has promised her show will be 'crazier than the Osbournes'.

Tell it as it is: Mel B and her friend have a clear message for the waiting paparazzi

She told The Daily Star: 'I'm not exactly going to be Miss Goody Two Shoes and play it completely by the book. I'm going to be me. I love the work I do.

'I couldn't do a nine-to-five. I respect people who do it, but that could never be me. I like to work odd hours.

'I like to wake up at 11pm and if I've got a song in my head, go to the studio and record it, then go back to bed, and then wake up the kids and take them to school. That's the kind of life I like to live. A very creative life.'
