Spice Girl Mel B has opened up about the "ups and downs" she has battled with her body confidence.
The 48-year-old singer and TV presenter and talent judge, who grew up in Hyde Park, Leeds, says while she finds it harder to stay in shape nowadays she "is very grateful" for her body. Mel, who will star in the second series of Queen of the Universe in June, is also encouraging her daughters - Angel and Phoenix - to love the skin they are in.
Mel said "I am never going to have the body I had as a teenager, but this body has given me three children, it’s been through a lot of ups and downs so I’m very grateful to this body. It’s harder staying in shape but I feel so much better when I really push myself to exercise, to eat right and to just feel like I am totally comfortable in my skin."
