Outrageous. Outspoken. Single-minded. Single mother. As one of the most popular members of the most popular girl group of all time, Melanie B has been called many things. But "scary" doesn't begin to describe her extraordinary life.
This is the remarkable story of the rebellious little girl from a council estate in Leeds who went on to conquer the world. From growing up in a mixed-race family in a predominantly white neighbourhood, dreaming of stardom, to being catapulted to fame at the age of 20, she reveals how a working class wannabe became a pop star pin-up.
How do you cope with such unprecedented adulation at such a young age? How do you keep your feet on the ground when you barely have time to stand still? And where do you go after you've reached the top?
Love affairs; a reckless marriage; a painful divorce: Melanie B tells about her private life with typical honesty. And as you'd expect from this most straight-talking of stars, Melanie's inside story of the Spice Girls - the highs and lows, tantrums and triumphs - is refreshingly frank, funny and bulls**t-free. Fizzing with her famous energy and raucous sense of humour, 'Catch A Fire' takes you on the rollercoaster ride that is Mel's life.
Sexy, sassy and seriously scandalous, it's one hell of a trip . . .
