Mel B has filled her fans with nostalgia as she shared a rare glimpse into her Leeds adobe, which has been decorated with Spice Girls memorabilia.
Her eldest daughter, Phoenix Chi Brown shares a snap alongside her 48-year-old mum for Mother's Day. But fans couldn't help but notice that Mel's walls were plastered with old photos of her and her bandmates during their Spice Girls heyday, as well as showcasing her love of leopard print in the form of her wallpaper and sofa cushions. Mel famously rocked her iconic leopard print outfits during the 90s - and has since revealed her collection of items has been inspired by her fashion choice in a hilarious TikTok video, which she posted to her page earlier this year.
The singer - dubbed "Scary Spice" - shared a heartfelt message to mark Mother's Day on her Instagram page, which had the words: "Love you a long time. And Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and amazing women out there! Not all heroes wear capes."
In another post, Mel shared a carousel of videos and images of her kids and her mother Andrea Brown and wrote in the caption: "Happy Mothers Day. Heres to the chaos laughter and endless love that fills our days to my 3 kids my mum I love you so much Sending a big big hug to all the amazing mother figures out there You are real superheroes."

It comes as Mel B exclusively told the Mirror that she had a fallout with her mum Andrea - after she failed to support her in leaving her abusive marriage - but the pair were eventually able to rebuild their relationship. She said: "Rebuilding relationships is hard. When I first moved in with her, my mum would say to me: ‘You’re fine now, you’ve left him, what’s wrong with you?’
"Because on paper I haven’t got the possibility of death over there with my abuser, I’m away from him. But it’s not as simple as that. I had this horrible anger towards my mum. I’d tell her, ‘If it was my kids I wouldn’t have let that happen’, and my mum would go, ‘But you did let that happen’."
The pop star, 48, was forced to move into mum Andrea’s bungalow in 2019 with her three kids after her divorce from Stephen Belafonte left her homeless. The ongoing trauma of having survived abuse left Melanie suffering from horrible anger and resentment. Melanie, who split from American Stephen in 2017 after 10 years and moved back to her hometown of Leeds from LA, now says she strives to be "a passionate advocate for supporting women who have survived abuse."
