Mel C: I am sportier now than when I was in the Spice Girls

London - Former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm, 42, better known as Mel C, once thrilled us as Sporty Spice as she stormed the stage with the most successful girl band of all time.

Her trademark back-flip was part of the sporty package, but she says she no longer does them. "I haven't done one for a couple of years,"she told dpa in an interview.

"The funny thing about being Sporty Spice is that I am definitely sportier now than I was in the 90s," she told dpa.

Her greatest achievement in 2016 was doing well at the London Triathlon. "This year 2016 was my big year. I actually achieved a personal best," she said.

She said of her decision in 2016 not to reunite the Spice Girls to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their massive worldwide hit "Wannabe": "It didn't feel quite right."

Mel C launches her comeback album "Version of Me" in February.
