Mel B: I have tantrums

Mel B admits having "little tantrums" from time to time.

The former Spice Girl is famously honest and direct in interviews. Mel famously chimed in one interview: "I've sold 75 million records. Of course I'm a diva!" and insists all female stars are prone to the odd outburst or two.

"What girl isn't a diva? We all have our little tantrums," she smiled in an interview with UK Star magazine.

Mel welcomed baby daughter Madison last September. This is her and her husband Stephen Belafonte's first child together, although the 36-year-old singer has two other daughters from previous relationships.

Mel had Phoenix Chi, 12, with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar and four-year-old Angel with actor Eddie Murphy.

Despite having such a young baby, the star says sleepless nights are a thing of the past.

"Not really. This is my third kid, so I'm used to it. It's still hard work but you kinda have to get on with it. Babies are babies – they'll do whatever they want," she said.

Mel wouldn't like a boy to add to her female brood.

"No, I love my girls. I've got all my girls and thank God they're healthy and happy. I'm good to go," she said.

Mel enjoyed international fame in the Spice Girls. However, she doesn't want her girls to follow in her footsteps.

"Oh, I always say to my kids, 'Education is first,'" she revealed.

"I don't give advice. I mean, my thing is, life is hard and as long as you're a good, honest person, then just get on with it. And then whatever comes your way, just treat it with, like, open arms."
