VICTORIA WILL BE THE FIRST GRANNY SPICE!'

There are only five women in the world who'll ever know what it was like to be a Spice Girl at the height of their fame in the late 90s. But according to Melanie C, there is one man who comes close to understanding how crazy it was. And that is none other than David Beckham, who Melanie describes as an 'honorary Spice Girl'.

Before Brand Beckham became a global phenomenon, Melanie explains that David, now 47, was adjusting to his own skyrocketing fame at the same time she, Victoria [then Adams], Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton were hitting the big time. We were all so young when it all happened. David's career was at such an incredible height as well and had its ups and downs at the time, so we kind of lived this

crazy existence together," Melanie explains. "There's not many people who know what it's like to be a Spice Girl, but I think David is probably the closest. He spent so much time with us. Victoria and David's legendary coming-together is just one of the many fascinating memories Melanie, 48, touches on in her new memoir, Who I Am: My Story. Having been there at the couple's first meeting, the singer describes offering Victoria and David her house to meet in when they were first courting. 'I was definitely the wingman in that whole scenario,' she laughs to Woman's Own.
