Following a disastrous 10 year marriage that kept her estranged from her family [click here if you missed that] Mel B moves back home with her mother in Leeds...
In a recent interview Mel B admits it was her daughter Angel who wanted to move.
Mel tells Jonathan Ross,
'[My mum and I] haven’t really had contact for about 10 years – I was in a bit of a terrible marriage. Now I’m out of that. Now we’re very, very close. My sister’s just had a baby. We’re all kind of together as a family unit. It feels really good.'
'It was actually my 12-year-old [Angel] that said to me, "Why are we moving back to LA - she’s been here all summer - all your family is here, the schools are much better here.’
'She said, "Let’s just stay here". She enrolled herself in school with the help of me.
'I found it quite amazing. Angel, I thought she would be the one, because she’s born and raised in America, her dad’s Eddie Murphy, so she’s got that whole connection over there, but she was the one that was most adamant to say, ‘I want to live in Leeds, and be with grandma, and all the aunties and uncles and nephews and nieces’. It’s lovely.'
