Mel B keen to get in shape for tour

Mel B has admitted that she is desperate to lose weight before going on tour with the Spice Girls.

The singer gave birth to daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown in April this year - and has already lost most of her baby weight, thanks to a strict exercise and diet regime.

"I've been working out really hard and dieting like crazy and it's finally coming off," Mel is quoted by The Mirror as saying. "I feel great.

"I can't wait to go on tour in December, things are going so well at the moment. I couldn't be happier."
