Mel B it seems has got back with her ex, actor Max Beesley. The Spice Girl flew straight into Max’s arms in America last week and were spotted kissing and cuddling by a pool in California. The pair split up in April after a series of blazing rows, they now all seem forgotten as they got very reacquainted.

Mel is also using the trip to get in touch with Mel C, with a view to reforming the Spice Girls. It seems a sudden interest in reforming the Spice Girls is due to financial necessity with none of the girls apart from Victoria making any real money.

Mel B’s been making friends on the set of new BBC drama Burn It. An insider reports, "It was one strop after another. If she wasn’t moaning about her early-morning starts then it was over something trivial like the catering. She was such a prima donna."
