The 34-year-old mother of two, who has earned praise recently for her newly toned physique, says that she's happy that gay men find her attractive, reports the Daily Express.

The singer said it was an honour because, "I try hard with my body", adding "I don't look like a bloke though!"

Recently, Mel B confirmed that the famous girl band Spice Girls would reunite to make a comeback soon.
