Melanie C proved she is still Sporty Spice as she took to the stage at Brighton Pride with her chiselled abs fully on show, just days after returning from her honeymoon in Ibiza.
Sporty Spice on stage
The 52-year-old Spice Girls star entertained crowds in a geometric print crop top and sports shorts, pulling off the top to reveal her sports bra during an energetic set. She finished off her look with a jazzy pair of sunglasses as she performed in front of adoring fans.
Her appearance came a day after Raye and Jessie J performed at the 35th anniversary of Brighton and Hove's Pride Festival.
Back from her honeymoon
Melanie's performance followed her return from Ibiza with new husband Chris Dingwall. The couple exchanged vows in an intimate Lake District wedding before jetting off to sunnier climes.
Family and friends attended the ceremony, including former Spice Girls bandmates Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Horner. Victoria Beckham was not present but still played a big part in the day, designing Melanie's wedding gown.
In Ibiza, the pair celebrated both their honeymoon and Chris's 46th birthday, joined by the singer's mum and step dad. Chris appeared to enjoy the occasion and shared snaps on social media, writing: "It's been a big week! Bit on lately. Very grateful to be celebrating the big 4-6 in a very special place with some of the best people I know. Or you know for that matter."
Melanie quickly responded in the comments: "Happy Birthday husband. I love you."
How they met
The couple met on celebrity dating app Raya, matching three years ago. Chris proposed to Melanie last July during a romantic holiday in Mallorca.
Speaking previously, Chris's friend said of the low-key husband: "He maintains a very low profile, particularly with his relationships. He was based in LA for many years for work and he was surrounded by all sorts of celebrities, but he kept dating and various relationships very low profile. What I know of Chris, he doesn't chase the limelight, however is very drawn to it. He doesn't want to be centre stage and would be happy for Mel to be there, but he has always had a lure for media."
