Mel B is planning a movie about her life. The Spice Girls star is reportedly keen to see her life played out on the big screen and wants to create a “documentary-style film” about her career so far.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “The idea is for a documentary-style film, rather than a Hollywood number. She will also talk about her bandmates. So it will be interesting to see how casting directors get on with finding actresses to play all five of the girls.”

Meanwhile, Mel – who was involved in a very public court case with her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte – is also working on a new autobiography and wants to “set the record straight” with the book, which is titled ‘Brutally Honest’, after “keeping silent for a decade”.

She said: “I have kept silent for a decade, but after a very public court case, I want to set the record straight … This book will show that abuse can happen to anyone. It is important that my three girls, who I raise as a single mother, know how to break the chain of abuse – along with any other woman who reads this book.”

Mel tragically lost her father Martin last year and says his death gave her the “clarity and strength” to get her life “on the right track”.
