Spice Girl Mel B reveals exciting new TV project after surprise engagement
SPICE Girl Mel B has teased an exciting new TV project after it was revealed she’s engaged.
The Sun revealed last week that Mel, 47, will wed boyfriend of three years Rory McPhee after his surprise proposal.
Today the singer told fans she’ll be appearing on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK as a judge later this week.
Sharing a clip on Instagram of her announcing the news, Mel simply added: “Yippppppeeee.”
It comes after Leeds-born hairdresser Rory shocked Mel by getting down on one knee.
Sources close to the star told how Rory, 36, and a long-time family friend, has helped repair the damage done by her ten-year domestic abuse hell.
Brave Mel has spoken openly about how she was left “powerless” during her decade-long relationship with abusive ex-hubby Stephen Belafonte.
But one source told how Rory, who she began dating in 2018, has restored her trust in men.
He presented her with a £100,000 pear-shaped, champagne-coloured diamond ring, encrusted with smaller champagne diamonds set on a rose gold band.
The source said: “Mel is so happy and this is such a big deal for her because she has been though such a lot.
“It has taken a huge amount for a man to get her to trust him and to believe in love again.
“Rory is from her home town Leeds, he’s known her for years. He’s the absolute opposite of so many of the guys she had relationships with.
“He is a really normal, down-to-earth guy, with good morals who has worked incredibly hard to build his own business and a family business. He’s not flash, or interested in the limelight.
“He comes from a loving family and his best pal is Mel’s cousin, Christian Cooke. He has really taken the time to understand what she’s been through. He is madly in love with her.”
