Mel C - drop the baby
Mel C says the Spice Girls tour is "no place for a baby".
The 33-year-old singer - who is the only Spice Girl yet to become a mother - has hit out at her bandmates for bringing their children on tour.
Mel told Britain's Closer magazine: "Travelling around the world and living out of a suitcase is no place for a baby. I feel that if I'm lucky enough to be blessed with a kid, then I want to be a regular mother.
"I'd want to be at home taking them to school and being there full-time. I wouldn't want to be travelling all over the world with them strapped to my back. I'm not criticising anyone else. That's just how I'd want it."
Victoria Beckham has three sons - Brooklyn, eight, five-year-old Romeo and Cruz, two - with soccer star husband David Beckham.
Mel B has an eight-year-old daughter, Phoenix Chi, with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, and a six-month-old daughter, Angel Iris, with former lover Eddie Murphy.
Geri Halliwell gave birth to daughter Bluebell Madonna in May 2006, while Emma Bunton welcomed her son Beau into the world in August.
Mel C revealed she is particularly worried about how Emma will cope taking her newborn son on the road with her.
She said: "I am sure Emma is nervous about taking Beau on tour because he'll only be three-months-old." |
