Mel B lives in vibrant UK city that 'bursts with life' and has a food scene 'you won't find anywhere else'

Back in March, Phoenix Chi Brown, Mel B's eldest daughter, shared a sweet snap of her and her mum at their home over Christmas.

The pair were perched on a plush burgundy couch, with leopard print cushions and a pink leopard print wall. A nod to her past, the wall boasted several photos of the singer during her time in the Spice Girls, plus snaps of her with the wider group.

In a video she shared on Instagram just yesterday, the singer shared a video of herself seemingly speaking from home.

She sat on a leopard print couch - in keeping with her former fashion from her time in the girl group - flanked with Union Jack cushions.

The windowsill behind her was littered with memorabilia, including statues and an MTV award.

Outside of her fashionable home in the wider city of Leeds, there is plenty to do.

Visit Leeds called it "the unofficial capital of Yorkshire". The website read: "A city at the heart of the action, bursting with life and cultural energy.

"A vibrant creative community, with award-winning national theatre and dance companies, a world-class arena, and a thriving independent food scene you won’t find anywhere else.

"A renowned retail destination, where big brands meet Victorian arcades. And a welcoming host for international sporting events, colourful carnivals, and a packed calendar of festivals and events.

"A skyline filled with breathtaking architecture, and a destination easily reached by road, rail and air. We are many things. We are Leeds."

For those who enjoy getting out in nature, Roundhay Park, Golden Acre Park, and Temple Newsam are well worth visiting.

Kirkstall Abbey is a beautiful medieval abbey perfect for budding historians to visit.
