Mel B in the semi-finals of Dancing with the Stars

Spice Girl Mel B has roared through to the semi-finals of popular US TV series Dancing with the Stars.

Scary Spice was voted into the next round on last night's results show, and is one of the hot favourites to lift the Mirror Ball trophy.

She is joined in the last four by singer Marie Osmond, actress Jennie Garth and Indianapolis 500 champion Helio Castroneves.

Actor Cameron Mathison was the unfortunate loser, and lost out on the vote, that is determined by a combination of the judge's votes and audience vote.

Earlier on in the evening, Mel, 33, showed she hadn't lost any of her scary ways when asked what she would do if she didn't get through.

Mel,33, jokingly said: "I'm going to beat them all up!"

During the show, Latin singer Gloria Estefan made a guest appearance and performed two tracks.

The first was from her latest release, 90 miles, but she saved her best to last when she sent the audience in raptures with 'Conga.'
