Mel C reveals all about her bump...

Pregnant Mel C is the last of the Spice Girls to start a family, and after waiting so long she won't be taking any chances when it comes to caring for her baby.

When asked which of her former bandmates she would put on babysitting duty she tried to avoid answering the question, before jokily admitting: 'Any of their nannies!'

But the 34-year-old was complimentary about the Spice Girls' mothering skills, insisting: 'Well they're all mums and they're all really good mums actually.'

Of the band members Melanie Brown has two daughters, Victoria Beckham three sons, Geri Halliwell a daughter and Emma Bunton a son.

Melanie, who appears on Al Murray's ITV show this Friday, talked happily to the comedian about her growing bump.

Expecting a surprise: She said she didn't want to know if it was a boy or a girl

She said she didn't know if she was expecting a boy or a girl.

'I don't know and I don't want to know,' she said. 'In the end I do, obviously.'

And Melanie also talked about last year's money-spinning Spice Girls reunion tour.

'I actually didn't want to do it.

'And when I received the phone call, it was the phone call that I had most dreaded in the last however many years since we were last together, seven years.

'But then thinking about it, and spending time with the girls and - now I've done it - it was amazing and I'm really glad I did.'

But Melanie claimed the tour wasn't as profitable as was speculated.

'I can't deny it was a decent earner,' she admitted. 'But it wasn't what they said in the papers. By a long stretch.'

Melanie, who has been with her partner Thomas Starr for six years, announced her pregnancy on her website last month.

Meanwhile, Mel B is gearing up to renew her wedding vows with husband Stephen Belafonte later this year, it has been claimed.

She is planning an extravagant ceremony in Egypt - and will sell pictures of the event to a magazine, insiders say.

She and producer Belafonte are said to have sent 'an 11-page invite' to friends.
A source told the New York Post's Page Six gossip column: 'It was very ornate and detailed.

'Everyone has to sign an agreement to be photographed and videotaped. Mel is going to be selling the pictures to a magazine for as high a price as she can get.'

Her fellow Spice Girls are thought to be among the invited guests.

Brown, 33, and Belafonte married in secret in Las Vegas in June 2007 shortly after she gave birth to ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy 's baby.
