Mel B to star in reality series
Ex-Spice Girl Mel B is to star in a new reality series as she lets TV cameras into her home and her life, it was announced today.
The show, billed as a “docu-comedy”, will follow the former chart star’s day-to-day life with producer husband Stephen Belafonte and her two daughters, 11-year-old Phoenix and three-year-old Angel.
The 10-episode TV series – for which she and Belafonte will act as executive producers – has been given the working title of Mel B Project and will begin screening in the US in September. It is expected to be broadcast in the UK at a later date.
The programmes – for US channel The Style Network – will show the singer balancing her busy schedule as a mum with her career.
Earlier this week, Mel – who found further fame in the US as a contestant on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ – was seen arriving at the premiere of the latest Shrek movie in Los Angeles with former partner Eddie Murphy. The episode is expected to feature in the show.
President of the Style Network Salaam Coleman Smith said: “Mel B is confident, hilarious and outrageously entertaining – we love that Mel has evolved her image and sought new challenges throughout her career while also taking on the ups, downs and everything in between that come with motherhood and marriage.
