Spice Girl Mel B has opened up about her sexuality, saying she was in a five-year relationship with a woman.

During an interview for attitude.co.uk recently, Mel B revealed her journey being a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

"I feel like I am. I didn’t start off my sexual journey going, 'I’m this, I’m that, I’m bisexual.' I was, and always will be, very open. I happened to fall in love with a woman and was with her for five years. We still talk to this day. I don’t want to put a label on it, but I’ve always thought women are beautiful," she said.

Mel B was in love with her long-term girlfriend, Christine Crokos, until they parted ways in 2006. She is now engaged to hairdresser Rory McPhee.

On Rory, Mel B said: "St Paul’s Cathedral have agreed we can be married there once we have completed the paperwork and got the final blessing. When you’ve been married twice before, you have to meet the bishop, the dean, and explain why you want to get married now. 

"I explained everything. I can explain eloquently, since my story and my life are in that book. I’ve been given a few dates, but none we’ve said yes to yet. 

"Only 30 couples a year get married there, so it’s quite a thing. Of course, all the girls are going to be invited. There will be some leopard print!" the singer said.

Mel B also shared her thoughts on domestic abuse in the LGBTQ+ community.

"When I do my book signings, it’s such an array of people: old, young, gay, trans, multicultural, multiracial, multisexual. It was an eye-opener. 

"It’s not discussed enough [in] the LGBTQ+ community because so many other issues take the forefront," she added.
