Dancing with the Stars: Melanie Brown's Daughter Following in Her Footsteps

Spice Girl Melanie Brown has grown to be a favorite during the past season of Dancing with the Stars, despite not winning the ultimate prize of the mirror ball trophy. However, she was able to garner numerous fans after her hard work on the show. In fact, despite most of our BuddyTV poll respondents thinking that Helio Castroneves did deserve to win, 30% still believed that Melanie Brown should have bagged the prize.

Surely, what's a Spice Girl to do but pass it on to her wonderful 8-year-old daughter, who seems to be following in her steps. Brown revealed that during the rehearsals for the Spice Girls reunion world tour, her daughter, Phoenix has been enthusiastically mimicking her mother's dance routines.

" Phoenix has been learning routines at the Spice Girls rehearsals," Brown said proudly. "She's got the dance fever!"

Phoenix is Brown's daughter with her previous husband, Jimmy Gulzar, a dancer for the 1998 Spice Girls world tour. Now we're not surprised where Phoenix 's 'dance fever' is coming from, and it from both parents who have worked hard in the entertainment industry.

Of course, Brown admitted that the Spice Girls' dance numbers may not have the same level of difficulty and grace as the complicated steps she had to learn during her sting on Dancing with the Stars.

"Well, the Spice Girls performed routines for six-year-olds," she said. "Everyone can do it!"

Despite just coming close to winning in the finals of Dancing with the Stars, her fellow Spice ladies were very supportive of her. Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell posted on the group's blog, "She SO should have won… I'm very disappointed. But we are all so incredibly proud of her. You're a winner to us Mel!"

This is the end for Melanie Brown's stay on Dancing with the Stars, and a lot of us are proud of her for sticking through the competition. Fans need not worry, however, for they will see more of the dancing pop star as she goes on tour with the Spice Girls. That is, if they are lucky to get their hands on a ticket for the concert. Tickets have flown off the stores, with a 38-second sell-out for the first London date announced. Their first stop on the tour happens in Vancouver tonight.
