Mel B empties her home for charity

Melanie Brown is holding a mass charity auction including contents from her former UK home.

The former Spice Girl, who now lives in LA, is parting with a number of cherished collectibles including a signature Scary Spice leopard print costume, five Roberto Cavalli outfits, and a toaster that still contains a slice of bread.

Other pieces up for grabs include the 33-year-old's original jumpsuit from the Spice Girls' first live performance in Birmingham, a motorbike, a Bechstein baby grand piano, her dining table and her personal copy of Spice World: The Movie.

Money raised from the sale will help charity Clic support children and young people and their families with the trauma of a cancer diagnosis.

Brown said: "I feel happy to be able to contribute to such an important cause. Every single one of these items has a personal value to me and I have no doubt that there will be something in the auction for everyone out there. I hope that people have fun bidding on a piece of me."

The online auction is at melbsale.com until Sunday October 26, at 8pm.
