Spice Girls' Mel C enjoys loved-up date with new boyfriend after Glastonbury debut

Send Push

Mel C spiced up Wimbledon as she enjoyed a sporty day down out at the tennis with her new man.

The singer has gone public with her romance with Chris Dingwall and looked cosy alongside the Australian model and director at the Championships in southwest London. They looked all loved up in the posh seats, days after they were snapped together at the Glastonbury Festival.

Mel, 50, wore cream trousers and a blazer at SW19 while Chris wore a black suit jacket, trousers, and a casual plain white t-shirt. They were seen courtside giggling as they watched the action before she enjoyed a Pimm's on the hill at Wimbledon on the day pal Andy Murray played his last game at the iconic sporting venue.

In August 2022, Mel ended her relationship with her boyfriend of seven years Joe Marshall.. The iconic singer shares a daughter Scarlett, who is now 15, with Thomas Starr from 2015. Now, all members of the Spice Girls are in relationships but it wasn't that long ago Geri, better known as Ginger Spice, went through her own ordeal with husband Christian Horner.

The Red Bull Formula One boss was being investigated earlier this year over allegations of "inappropriate behaviour" towards a female colleague - a claim he has always denied. Christian was later cleared of any wrongdoing.

But in an interview with the Mirror Mel B said that all of the Spice Girls had been rallying around the pint-sized star. She said: "All you can do is be there, just like the girls have been there for me." She added: "But it is horrible to see your friend going through something – something that you don’t quite know what it is – but that’s your friend and you want to protect her, no matter what. What us five have been through in the 30 years we’ve known each other, that’s a solid bond."

But it has clearly been a two-way street as Geri once found Mel B crumpled up in the shower at the time she was going through a turbulent time with her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte. Mel left Stephen in 2017 but in her autobiography Brutally Honest, she recalled the moment Geri found her. She said Geri "found me on the floor of the shower, crumpled up in the foetal position, crying." She added that her bandmates were "riddled with guilt" as they felt they hadn't done more to save her.

She continued: "Victoria’s mum told me she was beside herself when she read the book, Emma was in tears too. They were all riddled with guilt. I had to rebuild so many relationships after I left my marriage, but with them not so much. If anything I had to take that guilt away from them and reassure them that no matter what they had said, I wouldn’t have listened, I would have probably lied [...] I would have said: ‘No, everything’s fine.’
