Mel B flaunted her incredible figure as she and 35 pals, including lookalike daughter Phoenix, slipped into Scary Spice's leopard print bikinis amid her sun-soaked hen party on Saturday.
The singer, 50, who is set to marry fiancé of three-years Rory McPhee, 37, at London's famous St. Paul's Cathedral later this year, stunned in the skimpy swimwear for a choreographed routine to Beyonce 's End Of Time.
Mel teamed her triangular top and thong with a wedding veil and garter, as well as white lace kimono that she removed to strut her stuff with her pals.
The huge group of hens danced on a deck overlooking the stunning ocean while soaking soaking up the tropical sun and celebrating the Spice Girl.
Meanwhile Phoenix, 26, who Mel shares with ex Jimmy Gulzar, took to her Instagram Stories with an equally eye-popping bikini snap before sharing a glimpse of bash's lavish menu.
Scary captioned the post: 'HEN DO TIME WITH THE MOST AMAZING GROUP OF 36 WOMEN !!!!!!!'

Last month during an appearance on The Tonight Show Mel revealed that she'll be tying the knot in the famous London Cathedral, which is one of the perks of becoming a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), which she attained in 2022.
That same legendary church is where Princess Diana and Prince Charles tied the knot in 1981. Mel said she would be 'humbled and honored' to have her wedding there.
While having the wedding there is certainly an honour, she did open up about some very strict rules that must be abided by.
She even got in a little practice walking down the aisle, saying 'I do' and throwing a bouquet thanks to some lucky audience members.
Mel was granted an MBE honuor for her tireless work advocating for domestic violence survivors, which she had endured in a previous relationship.
'Can I just say, three women a week get killed by their former partner or present partner in this day and age, right now. So the statistics are not going any better. So I've got to keep on talking about it,' she said.
She added that her husband-to-be is, 'a wonderful soul,' adding, 'Anyway, so, I'm getting married at St. Paul's Cathedral.'
'And it's a big deal because, you know, when you get married there - not many people are allowed to get married there. You have to be kind of special,' she said.

'And it's a big deal because, you know, when you get married there - not many people are allowed to get married there. You have to be kind of special,' she said.
Mel confirmed she was tying the knot with Rory back in November 2022 after three years of dating after he got down on one knee with a £100k diamond ring.
The singer has credited Rory for making her feel 'more confident than ever' after being called 'fat and ugly' during her marriage to ex Stephen Belafonte.
The Spice Girl claimed she suffered years of physical and mental abuse during her past relationship, which left her lacking self confidence.
Speaking in an interview in October 2023, Mel said her new partner calls her 'beautiful every day' as she recalled her abusive relationship with her second husband.
She told The Sun, that Stephen, whom she was married to from 2007 to 2017, would call her names. Mr Belafonte has denied the claims of abuse.
'He'd say, "You look old, you look fat, God, you are ugly, your arms are flabby" week in, week out,' Mel admitted.
'In a way, those comments are like rain. They seep right into you, they wash away self confidence, your sense of self and, when you look in the mirror, you don't see a strong, happy woman — you see a reflection of what you're told, "fat, ugly, old . . . worthless"
'It has taken me years but I feel more confident than ever now and I'm with a partner who tells me he loves me and tells me I'm beautiful every day. It all helps.'
Mel shares her youngest daughter Madison, 13, with Stephen and is also mother to her daughter Phoenix and Angel, 18, who she shares with Eddie Murphy and came out earlier his year as trans.

Spice Girls who aren't attending Mel B's wedding this weekend and why

Despite being a fashion mogul and part of Mel B's Spice Girls history, Victoria won't grace the guest list at the high-profile wedding of "Scary Spice" Mel B to her beau Rory McPhee, which will take place at St Paul's Cathedral. Rumours also swirl that Emma Bunton or Melanie Chisholm might give the event a miss. According to a source, 51 year old Victoria is tied up with international commitments: "Victoria has long-standing commitments abroad and simply can't attend. She adores Mel, and despite their different career paths, they get along well. It's unfortunate but there's no bad blood. It's just one of those things." ‌ As for Geri, the reason for her absence is tied to a more complex past with Mel. Over the years there has been palpable tension making it tough for them to share a room. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter ‌ Victoria won't be able to attend Mel's wedding The strain intensified when Mel B shared on Piers Morgan's Life Stories that she had once had a clandestine romantic liaison with Geri during their Spice Girl days – an admission that deeply wounded Geri. According to reports, Mel never extended an apology, and the explosive claim caused significant discomfort for Geri's husband, Christian Horner, who reportedly felt "mortified" by the revelation, reports the Mirror.

She first exchanged vows with Dutch dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998, where she sported an extravagant Vegas showgirl feathered headdress paired with a white-and-gold gown. ‌ In 2007, Mel B wed Stephen Belafonte in a Las Vegas ceremony and they renewed their vows in Egypt the following year. The pair parted ways in 2016 amidst allegations of emotional and physical abuse from Mel, which Belafonte has consistently denied. His legal team claimed the couple spent through Mel's £50 million fortune during their marriage. ‌ Post her separation from Stephen, Mel B developed a close bond with Rory McPhee, whom she described last year as "a family friend, great hairdresser... when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments... And as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship." Thanks to her OBE, awarded in 2022 for her charitable efforts aiding vulnerable women, particularly through Women's Aid, Mel B is eligible to tie the knot at St Paul's Cathedral. In preparation for her big day, Mel B threw a lively hen do in Tunisia, donning leopard-print swimwear, engaging in a choreographed dance, taking a belly dancing lesson, and enjoying a "Zen party."

Clarkson's Farm fans open-mouthed as Kaleb Cooper shares rare video of lookalike brother - and Jeremy Clarkson has BRUTAL response

Clarkson's Farm fans were left open-mouthed after Kaleb Cooper shared a rare video of his lookalike brother - and Jeremy Clarkson posted a brutal response. The farmer shot to fame on fame on the popular Amazon Prime show back in 2021. Since then he has become a huge fan favourite, accumulating 2.9m followers on Instagram - and he regularly updates followers with what he's up to. On Wednesday he celebrated his 27th birthday with a video of his brother pushing him on a tyre swing. Kaleb captioned the post: 'Here's to 27 years old! Thank you all for the birthday messages!' While many were shocked to see Kaleb's 'twin', his pal Jeremy brutally wrote: 'I'd worry about that rope.' Others couldn't believe how similar he looked to his sibling. 'Why is there two if you?' 'Hey is that your twin? Happy birthday' 'This is like a glitch in the Matrix. Why is the person pushing you also you?!' '2 Kalebs ?' 'Kaleb squared.' 'How are you pushing yourself on the swing?' 'Why is Kaleb pushing himself on the swing? My brain has malfunctioned!' Many took to the comments section to share their shock at how similar the siblings look - and Jeremy also left a brutal comment Back in May Kaleb revealed the truth about his absence in Clarkson's Farm series four and explained how 'brilliant' stand-in farmhand Harriet Cowan 'saved the day'. The TV star featured on This Morning over video and chatted with co-hosts Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50. Season four of Clarkson's Farm hits our screens on May 23 and saw Kaleb disappear halfway through for a nationwide speaking tour. He was temporarily replaced by Harriet and Kaleb revealed she was 'brilliant' and even helped Jeremy 'trim his eyebrows'. The young farmer confirmed he was still very much a part of the show but Harriet 'saved the day' with her help while he was away. 'I'm still involved, there's lots of rumours going about that I've been replaced but I'm still here, Harriet stepped in as I jumped away on tour, I'm very grateful that Harriet came along and saved the day,' he said. Ben commented how Harriet had helped Jeremy to tidy his eyebrows and Kaleb quipped back: 'I know his hair's terrible but I don't really notice his eyebrows.' Kaleb added: 'He shouldn't be trusted alone on the farm, he's getting better but there are loads of things he still can't do.' The star reflected on the work he gets stuck in with at Diddly Squat. He said: 'Loading pigs is hard work, it was incredibly bad weather last year so the mud was unbelievable. They like to try things, they were biting my wellies.' 'Jeremy was very relaxed thinking he had done his job, he'd completely forgot about me,' Kaleb quipped.

Mum-of-22 Sue Radford's daughter Chloe sobs over her toddler's DIY haircut which looks like she's ‘shaved her head'

IT'S a situation that many parents can relate to. But that didn't make things any easier for mum-of-22 Sue Radford's daughter Chloe, when she discovered her two-year-old little girl Mila had given herself a DIY haircut. 5 5 5 5 The mum-of-two admitted she was left sobbing when she discovered what her daughter had done. "My two-year-old wants to show you the haircut she's given herself and you'd better say something nice," Chloe began, with the TikTok video following the format of a current viral trend. She then introduced Mila onto the screen, as she said: "Wow, gorgeous. "Are you pleased with yourself?" The little girl showed that she'd taken the scissors to the front of her hair, with Chloe captioning the video: "Honestly if I don't laugh I'll cry!" "Oh gosh Mila," Chloe's mum Sue commented on the video. "Must admit I did a proper open gasp when you sent me the picture this morning. "I think she's actually proud of herself! "She's just getting herself ready for her birthday in a few weeks!" "Why do they always have to take it to the scalp though?!" another added. Can £39 viral split ends cutter replace hairdresser "My daughter did this and I actually cried a whole river!" "Honestly it looks like she's shaved it," Chloe replied. "I can't believe how much she's cut!! So upset I cried loads!" "Oh Mila," someone else wrote. "I'd definitely cry so well done Chloe!" "No I did cry when I first saw it, can't lie haha," Chloe replied. Hair re-growth FAQs Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous. How long does it take for hair to grow back? Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up. Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn't do much for male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won't cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate. Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth? To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we'd recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months. Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist. Other people in the comments took aim at Chloe for even allowing Mila anywhere near some scissors. "My point would be how she got scissors to be alone," one wrote. To which someone else replied; "Either you aren't a parent... Or you're in denial about things self professed perfect humans believe children shouldn't do just to belittle parents. "One of my kids shaved her eyebrow once. "Yes I felt guilty she got hold of my razor... But I'm glad I'm not judgemental like you!" "Came here for the comments blaming you for not watching her or allowing her access to scissors," another responded. "It'll grow before you know it! And it's a rite of passage like a Sudocremed child!" However, there were some who used the comments section to admit they'd found themselves in similar situations with their kids when they were little. "I did this to my hair when I was about 7... I wore a headband for months til it grew out again!" one wrote. "Bless her, we've all experienced that," another laughed. "Luckily she can have a side parting with a pretty hairslide to keep it in place." "My daughter cut the entire right side of her hair off," a third admitted. "I was hysterically crying. "She's 19 now and it grew back lovely - the joy of kids!" 5
