Mel C thankful for 'sensible' stage attire

Mel C

Mel C is glad she wore "sensible" shoes during the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony.

The singer reunited with her Spice Girls bandmates Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Geri Halliwell for the impressive show last month.

The five-piece performed on custom-designed taxis and Mel says speeding around on top of the vehicles made for an exhilarating experience.

"I think we were doing about 20mph and we were nervous. I think some of the girls had quite high heels on! Sporty, of course, is always sensible in trainers, so I was fine," she smiled in an interview with UK magazine Heat, in reference to her Sporty Spice moniker.

"But a lot of things could have gone wrong, so we had like waves of excitement, nervousness, all those different things going on."

Mel has also revealed the Spice Girls' pre-performance ritual.

"We always do when we get together," she said. "We warm up together and do a little song and dance. When we were on tour, we used to do a little prayer. It was quite tongue-in-cheek - we got together and all held hands."

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Taurus:

An embarrassing secret will come to light, affecting your reputation. Somebody who once admired you will now turn away in dismay. Instead of trying to win their affection again, lay low for a wee while. You'll make a much better impression by letting your actions speak for themselves. There is a chance this relationship is beyond redemption. If your former friend decides to keep their distance, you will have no other choice than to respect their feelings. Better luck next time.More
