Mel B was in great spirits as she settled back into LA life with an energetic morning hike with her husband on Wednesday.
The Spice Girl, 51, who splashed out on a £2.2m Yorkshire home last year, has been in the US for the past month filming for her role as judge on the new season of America's Got Talent.
Relishing the LA sunshine, Scary Spice stripped down to a bright pink bikini, showing off her impressive physique as she danced her way down a hiking trail with her shirtless husband Rory McPhee, 38.
Mel took the lead, striding and dancing ahead of Rory as she listened to music and belted out some of her favourite lyrics.
She shared an Instagram video shot by Rory as she danced down the trail, revealing she was getting 'show ready.'
Her hairdresser husband has joined her in the States as she works on AGT, but the couple, along with her three children Phoenix, 27, Angel, 19 and Madison, 14, now call Yorkshire home.

Mel has told how she has come 'full circle' after growing up in a council house in Leeds before travelling the world to international acclaim and relocating to America, before returning to her Yorkshire roots with the purchase of her dream home last year.
After finding fame with the Spice Girls Mel moved to the States and had a relationship with actor Eddie Murphy, father of her daughter Angel, before going on to marry film producer Stephen Belafonte in Las Vegas in June 2007.
The couple bought a vast home in the Hollywood HIlls, with a cinema, recording studio, a chef's kitchen, gym, games room and a swimming pool overlooking the LA skyline.
But the 10-year marriage ended in a bitter divorce and the warring couple put the home up for sale for £6.8 million. Despite an opulent refurbishment and sought-after setting, they had to twice slash the price to just below £5million as they became desperate to sell, eventually offloading the property in 2019.
Despite making more than £80 million during her career, Mel endured years of financial hardship after the split. In 2024 she told how she was left with just £700 to her name after costly divorce and custody battles.
Mel revealed she ended up so broke she took to shopping in budget stores Lidl and Costco after returning to the UK in 2019 and moving into her mother Andrea's bungalow with her three kids.
Now she says her new life in ‘100 per cent my second act’ and insists she is happier than ever after tying the knot with Rory at St Paul's Cathedral last July.
Last year the Daily Mail revealed Mel had splashed out £2.2 million on a rambling Yorkshire property set in 11 acres of land.

Mel and Rory were keen to put their personal stamp on the property where they live with her three children
After snapping up the property, Mel quickly embarked on a major project to transform the place into a modern day family home complete with leisure facilities befitting a global superstar.
The property which was once a modest farmhouse and barn had been turned into a substantial country residence by previous owners.
The hideaway in a secluded hamlet had five bedrooms, five-bathrooms and a one bedroom annex, as well as a detached office, double garage and stunning views across hills and a reservoir.
But Mel and Rory were keen to put their personal stamp on the property where they live with her three children.
In one Instagram post she wrote: 'On Sundays we hug trees, spend time with the animals and have a Sunday dinner.'
Mel has also told how she had at last discovered what she 'really really wants' and how returning to her Yorkshire roots was 'one of the best decisions she had ever made'

In another she wrote: ‘This will be my happy home, I'm thinking about my dad, I'm thinking about my kids, and I'm thinking about all those survivors out there - you CAN reclaim your power. Trust and believe.'
Mel - whose neighbours include former England manager Sir Gareth Southgate and ex Manchester City defender Micah Richards - has also told how she had at last discovered what she 'really really wants' and how returning to her Yorkshire roots was 'one of the best decisions she had ever made'.
Mel told her local paper: 'I have three goats, nine chickens now and I've got my two protection dogs and I have a forest.
'So I come home and breathe the fresh Yorkshire air, go to tend to my animals and chill at my house and feel very thankful and appreciative of it.
'This is the safest, best place that I could be.'
