Mel B, 51, channels Scary Spice in leopard print accessories and PVC mini on date night with husband Rory McPhee, 38, in Beverly Hills

She's long been known for her alter-ego Scary Spice, and Mel B took inspiration from the moniker as she enjoyed a date night in Beverly Hills.

The singer, 51, headed out for dinner with her husband Rory McPhee, 38, dressed in bold leopard print accessories and a PVC mini skirt.

Mel and Rory were hand-in-hand as they left the Mr. Chow restaurant after a romantic dinner together. 

The couple tied the knot just over a year ago, and have been living in the US while Mel appears as a judge on America's Got Talent.

Simon Cowell has been absent from the panel while he recovers from back surgery, with KSI standing in for him, and he is also set to miss the beginning of Britain's Got Talent filming in early 2027, with his replacement yet to be announced. 

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.

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 £6.8million. 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 £80million 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 is ‘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. 

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.
