Just to be around green and nature. Peace and quiet.' The mum of three added: 'I'm a normal girl from Leeds. I go to the supermarket, I make my own cup of tea, I do laundry, which I'm addicted to. 'I love hoovering, too. My mum is really happy and so is anybody whose place I go and visit. I'm all, 'Have you got a hoover?'.' Mel, full name Melanie Brown, credits her mother Andrea and late dad Martin for instilling a work ethic that helped prepare her for the pressures of superstardom. Since releasing debut single Wannabe with bandmates Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton in 1996 and becoming the best-selling girl group of all time, Mel has not stopped working. She has just returned from Sydney, where she was a judge for The Masked Singer Australia. Mel has been a judge on The X Factor here and abroad, co-presented the Australian version of Dancing With The Stars and even judged on Spain's version of The Masked Singer last year. Next year she is expected to reunite with the Spice Girls to mark their 30th anniversary. Mel, 48, said: 'I saw my mum and dad slog their guts out doing not just their nine-to-five job but taking on an extra job and an extra job after that. "So my work ethic was instilled in me at a very, very young age. And nothing was given for free. 'You had to earn it, you had to work for){kind=link}
