Melanie Brown is set to welcome another little spice to her family. Formerly Scary Spice of the Spice Girls, she and husband Stephen Belafonte already have three daughters between each other, Phoenix 12, Angel Iris, 4, and Giselle, 6, and are expecting their first biological child together.

Brown is the third of her former bandmates to become pregnant recently. Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) is due to deliver a boy in May and Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) is due with a girl in July.

The sex of Melanie's child is currently unknown, but she and Stephen, both 35, are "...really thrilled. We wouldn't have planned and waited for four years to have a baby if we weren't excited and ready for it," she told Hello! magazine.

She's also excited to experience pregnancy again. "I like the feeling of being pregnant. I like being able to just eat something if I'm craving it," she says. "I definitely do put on weight [during pregnancy], but I think you're meant to when you're pregnant. I think it's healthy."
