Mel C: I prefer singing to sex

Former Spice Girl Melanie C prefers performing live on stage to having sex, she revealed today.

The original Sporty Spice no longer prances around in tracksuits but still maintains the stage is her “favourite place”.

When asked to chose between there and the bedroom, she told the Sunday Mirror’s M Celebs magazine: “I’d have to say being on stage.

“In an everyday situation I can be quite shy, but when I up there I feel so free.”

The 29-year-old singer has battled with her weight and depression since the Spice Girls broke up, but now claims she is happy with her appearance.

“I put my heart into my records and whether I’m a size eight or a size 14, my music still sounds the same,” she said.

“I’ve spent so much time dieting and tried to lose weight and it made me very sick, so f*** it. I love the way I look and I’m very fit.”

Having completed her second solo album, Mel C insisted she would never write a revealing biography – because she couldn’t be bothered.
