'With a body like that, why not?': Mel C reveals Spice Girls band mate Mel B took her to a nudist beach in Maui where they sunbathed topless before the release of their smash hit Wannabe
Mel C has revealed Spice Girls band mate Mel B took her to a nudist beach to sunbathe topless.
The singer, 47, confessed to stripping off in Maui, Hawaii, where she and the band were on holiday before the release of their smash hit Wannabe in 1996.
Sporty Spice said she 'braved' going topless with Mel B, 45, who she remembers had an incredible bikini body.

Speaking to Alan Carr Life's A Beach podcast, Mel said: 'I've been on a nudist beach with Mel B, which won't surprise you. I tell you what though, with a body like that, why not? I might have braved going topless...
'We went on holiday to Maui, all five of us. It was before we released Wannabe, our manager said to us "things are going to go crazy, you're not going to have time to do anything, go and have a fabulous holiday and when you get back, work begins."
'It was funny because at that point, we were all still skint – we'd done nothing. We'd been signing on at that point, trying to get work.
'But we got signed and things began to change, we were staying at this five-star resort but a lot of us came from nothing and we were having these experiences.'

At the time of their trip to Maui, which took place in 1995, Mel B would have been 21-years-old, and Mel C a couple of years older.
A picture of the girls from Mel B's biography Brutally Honest shows the band fresh-faced and wearing bikinis, unaware Wannabe would someday become the biggest-selling debut single of all time.
Mel explained she and the band, including Emma Bunton, 45, Geri Horner, 48, and Victoria Beckham, 47, were forced into a motel the last night of their holiday after spending two weeks living it up at a five-star hotel.
She said: 'We were having this incredible holiday in this amazing place and then for some reason, somebody had booked out the hotel one day, but the flight home was the day after so we rocked up to the airport a day early. We had nowhere to stay and no money.

'It's funny because this picture popped up on social media recently and we're all sulking and it's because we had to go find a motel to stay at for one night before we could actually fly home. We'd been at this five-star resort for two weeks, it was like a crash back down to reality.
'But that was an amazing holiday with the girls before anything had happened – and that's when I went to a nudist beach with Mel B and I might have braved taking my top off.'
Mel C once told airport staff 'Google me' after she was refused onto a flight in Germany for not carrying her 12-year-old daughter's birth certificate, which she needed to prove she and Scarlet are related given they have different surnames.
She said: 'My little girl and I have different surnames, I never married her dad and a lot of mums out there do have different surnames to their kids.
'When I get to the gate sometimes and I have my little girl with me you have to show different things and I didn't have her birth certificate to prove, because my name is on the birth certificate and I just said, "Google me."
'But they're not very impressed at passport control in Germany when you say "Google me."'
