Slipping her incredibly toned figure in a skintight shiny green minidress, Mel looked typically flawless for the late night talk show.
Mel added to her look with a pair of classic nude heels and piled her raven tresses into a chic topknot.
Proving to be well and truly at home as she took to the sofa, Mel revealed that her actual homebase isn't too far away as she explained: 'I’m living with my mum.
'[I’m] back in Leeds. She’s kind of shoved to one side of the house. Not literally [kicked her out]. My mum has built a beautiful house. We’re surrounded by like sheep. It’s Yorkshire, so it’s all very kind of country and nature.
'She kind of has a bit of the house. I’ve got three kids, so I have more of the house than she does,' Mel continued.

Bombshell: Mel has shocked many with her lesbian hook-up with Geri confession this year
Touching upon their estranged relationship in the past, Mel detailed: 'We haven’t really had contact for about 10 years – I was in a bit of a terrible marriage.
'Now I’m out of that. Now we’re very, very close. My sister’s just had a baby. We’re all kind of together as a family unit. It feels really good.'
Mel also explained that her children Phoenix Chi, 20, Angel, 12, and eight-year-old Madison 'really love' being in the UK.
'It was actually my 12-year-old [Angel] that said to me, "Why are we moving back to LA - she’s been here all summer - all your family is here, the schools are much better here.’
'She said, "Let’s just stay here". She enrolled herself in school with the help of me.

'I found it quite amazing. Angel, I thought she would be the one, because she’s born and raised in America, her dad’s Eddie Murphy, so she’s got that whole connection over there, but she was the one that was most adamant to say, ‘I want to live in Leeds, and be with grandma, and all the aunties and uncles and nephews and nieces’. It’s lovely.'
While Mel is trying to enjoy the slower pace of life in the Leeds countryside, in March Mel shocked millions with the admission that she had slept with Geri during their wild Spice Girl days.
And speaking of coming face to face with Geri for the first time since it happened, Mel explained: 'It was a bit awkward when we first got together in rehearsals. But ‘coz it happened so long ago, it was like, "Why did you say that?"
'I was like, "I don’t know, Piers [Morgan] just asked me a question, I’m not going to lie". She was like, "Why did you even bring that up?" It was like one of those discussions that you would have with your best friend, like, "Oh stop it. Shut your big mouth."'

When asked by Jonathan if the their other bandmates, Mel C and Emma Bunton, were trying to stay out of the discussion, Mel hilariously joked: 'I think they were all saying, "Don’t mention me either!"'
Meanwhile, Victoria was the only Spice Girl who didn't join the hugely successful girlband for their reunion tour.
And Mel admitted that while there were no hard feelings, they did feel Victoria's absence.
Asked whether they noticed if she wasn't there, Mel said: 'Course we noticed! We had to re-sing her lines. It was strange not having her there.
'But also, we’re all very respectful of the fact that she said from the very beginning that she wasn’t going to tour again, she’s had her kids to look after and her fashion line – so we just ploughed on without her. We made the most of it. We thoroughly enjoyed it.'

Mel also added: 'No [she didn’t come]. Her mum and dad turned up to one of the shows, which is nice. Is that even more weird? It is isn’t it?'
While her divorce to Stephen played out horribly in the public eye, Mel continued to relay the fact that her former partner Eddie Murphy, who is the father of Angel, was the 'love of her life.'
'Oh yeah. I’ve never said anything different. We were together like 12 and a bit years ago. We both said that we are the love of each other’s lives. But he’s moved on. He’s got two kids with his beautiful fiancée.
'I moved on obviously to a really bad relationship but now I’m out of it. We’re both very respectful, we talk, we have a beautiful daughter together and he’s very proud of her.'

Speaking of her love life now, Mel said: 'No [not looking for a new partner]. I really love Leeds. I think relationships for me are a little bit scary, especially where I’ve come from.
'I’m really happy just raising my three kids which takes up most of my time. Apart from that I’m working, I’m a single mum at the end of the day.'
Mel will appear on the talk show alongside fellow celebrity guests, Adam Lambert, Russell Howard, Emily Mortimer and Ava Max.
The Jonathan Ross Show will air on Saturday 28th September at 10.30pm on ITV.
