Mel B's daughter learns the Spice Girls' routines

Spice Girls singer Mel B has revealed that her daughter Phoenix has been learning the dance routines from the Spice Girls' upcoming world tour.

Mel, who recently lost out in the finals of Dancing With The Stars to rivals Helio and Julianne, revealed that 8-year-old Phoenix, her daughter with former hubby Jimmy Gulzar, is following in her father's footsteps and has "dance fever".

She said: "Phoenix has been learning routines at the Spice Girls rehearsals. She's got the dance fever!"

Mel, dubbed 'Scary Spice' from her days with the 90's girl band, recently admitted the Spice Girls' dance routines were very easy to learn, saying: "Well, the Spice Girls performed routines for six-year-olds. Everyone can do it!"

Mel also said that she is looking forward to the girls' shows, which start in Vancouver, Canada, tomorrow, because she feels closer to them now than the last time they toured.

She said: "I sent them all a little note before the tour started, confiding what I love about them. We have a cup of tea and talk about our kids and gossip. We're united."
