Mel C reveals battle with depression and eating disorders amid Spice Girls

Melanie Chisholm, better known as former Spice Girl Mel C, has revealed in an interview that her time with the girl group took a huge toll on her physical and mental health.

Speaking with Event, Mel said, “When the Spice Girls were at their biggest, I couldn’t even really look at myself in the mirror because I didn’t like what I saw. Depression, eating disorders, obsessive over-exercising; I went through all of it.”

However, she did add that even though she was turning down an offer worth “a couple of million pounds”: “I loved what we did as the Spice Girls and part of me will be Sporty Spice until I die.”
