In an interview with Closer magazine, Melanie C talks about her fears of her eating disorder returning and the Spice Girls reunion. Mel says:
“The girls approached me and said they were getting together to do a world tour, a greatest hits album and a big goodbye, and I was like: ‘Oh, no.’ It was the last thing I wanted to hear. All four of them had spoken about it and it was set in stone. They basically said if I wanted to do it great but if I didn’t want to do it then they were going to do it anyway. I’d always said I’d never do it. But I didn’t want to miss out and have regrets. I also didn’t want to be the person that stopped it being the complete five. I was scared I’d be the villain. The depression and everything else was in my thoughts during the decision process of whether to do the tour. It took me a long time to decide because it was something I never ever wanted to do. It was hard, so I didn’t say yes immediately. I changed my mind every day, it was difficult. I’ve been on the straight and narrow for four years. But I had to be sensible and evaluate what I wanted to do. And I want this reunion. I’m happy with my body. I’ve reached a good place. I’m healthy but I like Guinness and crisps. Life’s too short to worry about weight.”
