Mel B 'has sex five times a day'

Mel B has claimed that she keeps fit by having sex five times a day.

The former Spice Girl denied that she is obsessed with exercise and attributed her toned physique to regular sessions with her husband Stephen Belafonte.

"I'm honestly not body-obsessed - I can't be with three kids and a husband," she told Grazia.

"My husband likes my muscles, but then he's seen me every which way over the past eight years - including when I put on 42lbs after my last pregnancy - and he always loves my body.

"In fact, on top of all my exercise, I have sex with him five times a day - maybe that has something to do with it. I have to admit, I'm a nymphomaniac with him. It's sexercise."

The star, who is currently appearing in Las Vegas burlesque act Peepshow, added that she would never consider liposuction as a quick weight-loss measure.

"I have never had liposuction and I never would - you can tell when people have it because it makes their skin uneven. I've got a six-pack without lipo. I don't need it," she said.
