Nothing to be scared of - superfit Mel B shows off her trim figure by the poolside

Stunning Mel B looked relaxed and carefree as she cavorted in the sunshine with her husband Stephen Belafonte.

The former Spice Girl showed she was in great shape as the pair frolicked by the poolside of the Peninsula Hotel, in Beverley Hills, Los Angeles.

The 33-year-old is on a break from her Las Vegas burlesque revue Peepshow but the impact of the dancing regime was clear from her toned figure.

Husband Stephen helped her to make sure she had not missed any spots with the suncream before Mel slipped out of her four inch platforms ready for a dip.

The pair gazed lovingly into each others' eyes as they enjoyed a quick cuddle while they splashed around in the sun-dappled water.

And Stephen did not waste the opportunity to admire his wife's figure, taking a cheeky glance at her backside as she climbed back out of the pool.

Mel may have been Scary Spice when the Girl Power supergroup were still together but she showed she was nothing to be scared of now.

The popstar, originally from Leeds, earned that nickname for her loud voice, throaty laugh and in-your-face attitude.

After the band broke up in 2000 she launched an unsuccessful solo career and was dropped by record label Virgin.

The singer, whose full name is Melanie Brown, moved to Los Angeles in 2003 with her daughter Phoenix-Chi.

She had a second baby, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, in April 2007 but the birth was mired in controversy over whether movie star Eddie Murphy was the father.

The comedian denied it was his child but later admitted paternity after a court-ordered DNA test.

Mel and movie producer Stephen married just two months later in a ceremony at Las Vegas.

The singer, who wore a white and red spotted black bikini for her dip in the pool, has been enjoying a renaissance of late.

She has dazzled audiences with her moves in Dancing With The Stars, the United States version of Strictly Come Dancing, and is the face of the Ultimo underwear range.
