She's the only Spice Girl who hasn't become a yummy mummy - but Mel C still has no plans to join the baby club.
"Arggh!" she yells. "Don't mention the 'B' word! Everybody asks whether I'm going to be next or whether I'm trying at the moment.
"I hate to disappoint people, but the answer is 'no'. Everyone thinks that because I'm 34 and in a serious relationship, I'm desperate to start a family.
"But I'm not. I love kids and one of the best bits about touring with the Spice Girls this time round was getting to know everyone's babies.
"I think people expected me to start feeling broody, but I didn't and I still don't. I'm sure at some point babies will be part of my future, but I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling happy without them."
Melanie Chisholm has many reasons to be cheerful. She's been loved-up with her property developer boyfriend Thomas Starr for six years, has homes in London and Wales, and is feeling chilled about life. But motherhood can wait.
"It's great the other girls are mothers, but we all have different paths in life, and mine doesn't include babies right now."
She bursts into an impromptu laugh. "And while I'm being so honest, I'd better say my current plans don't include marriage either. Maybe one day, but right now neither of us is in any rush to change things."
