Mel B knows a thing or two about confidence. Back in the 90s, the record-breaking popstar-turned-TV-personalityturned-domestic-violencecampaigner was the epitome of female empowerment alongside her Spice Girls bandmates, inspiring an entire generation of women to support other women and celebrate their individualities without apology. So, when lingerie brand Pour Moi began the search for an ambassador to front their new Own Your Confidence campaign and help it spread the message that all women deserve to feel confident no matter their shape or size - it seemed a no-brainer to put Mel at the very top of their "most wanted" list.
However, while Mel acknowledges she's never been healthier - or in better physical shape she reveals she wanted to spend a bit more time working on her mindset before stepping in front of the camera following years of turmoil. 'I was meant to do my first Pour Moi shoot last year, but I was like, "You know what? I'm not quite ready. I'm not where I want to be mentally, and emotionally," she says. 'So, I did certain things and put other things into place to help me get there, because I didn't want a quick fix. Now, I've got myself to a place where I feel comfortable and confident, and it's a realistic place for me to stay at.'
