Mel B: 'One way or another, baby if coming out this week'

Mel B's baby is "coming out this week".

The former Spice Girls singer – who is expecting her first child with husband Stephen Belafonte – has confirmed doctors are planning to induce labour this week after she "tried everything" to instigate the baby's delivery.

Mel – who also has daughters Phoenix, 12 and Angel, four, from previous relationships - said: "I just had my doctor on the phone and he's given me some ultimatums which are good. It's coming out this week, one way or another it's coming out this week.

"Ideally I want it to come naturally, but I've tried everything. I've tried the hot food, the running...I've tried it all. And it just seems to be stuck and hibernating in there getting bigger and bigger, so it's coming out this week for sure."

The 36-year-old star is not worried about the birth procedure. She said in an interview on 2Day FM's 'Kyle and Jackie O Show': "It's called epidural and pain relievers!"
