Melanie C Opens Up About Life After 'Dancing With The Stars,' Spice Girls Reunion

Melanie C opened up about her life following her elimination from "Dancing with the Stars" Monday. During Thursday's episode of Entertainment Tonight, the singer admitted how "strange" it was for her to no longer be in the dance competition.

"It's very surreal because it's really intense," she said. "I was so committed. Everybody on the show is, and all of a sudden it's over. I did really hope and think I'd be there a little longer."

The English actress went on to say that despite getting eliminated, she's amazed by the "outpouring of love and support" she has been receiving on social media, noting it is something she really appreciates.

"I think there's a whole album out there waiting to be written after this experience," she explained. "I've done so much in my life. I've been so fortunate. I've had a great career. I was a Spice Girl, I was a solo artist, I've done theater, I've done so many different things, but nothing prepared me for this."

She also admitted though there's still "a little bit of healing to do," her "DWTS" experience has offered her "so many positives," like being able to turn her focus back to music.

Melanie C also talked about her experience reuniting with the Spice Girls in 2019, saying it paved the way for her to find self-acceptance.

"I was back on stage with the Spice Girls in 2019," she recalled. "We did these incredible stadium shows in the U.K. and I was Sporty Spice for the first time in such a long time. It made me realize she's always in there, she never goes away. I don't become her, she's in here.”

Melanie C is gearing up for the release of "Spice 25," a deluxe edition of the Spice Girls' debut album just in time for the group's 25th anniversary. The singer teased that apart from being a repackaged and remastered version of the original album, "Spice 25" will also include more features, including demos and unreleased tracks.

"I think for those real fans out there who love to collect all the memorabilia, they're gonna love it. It brought back so many memories," she added.
