Former Spice Girl Mel B says she does not dislike anything about herself.

"I like everything about myself because I have no choice. It is what it is. You have to love the skin you're in," Mel B told dailymail.co.uk.

She is mixed race and has encountered racist attitudes at different points in her life. The former Spice Girl identified racism as the thing she dislikes most in the world.

"Anybody of colour will have experienced racism at some point in their life and I definitely have - I'm not fully black and I'm not fully white. I am a mix and people get confused," the singer added.

"2 Become 1" crooner is hugely proud of the incredible success she has enjoyed during her career and in particular, her record-breaking experiences with Spice Girls.

What's more, she is thrilled that the band have remained so close since they went their separate ways.

"To have five girls, from all different walks of life, who are still friends 20 years later - that's an achievement," she said.
