Melanie C, of the Spice Girls fame, has revealed that both she and her daughter Scarlet are big fans of Little Mix. 

The star previously told the Sunday People that she wasn't too keen on Little Mix's X Factor outfits, which came under fire for being provocative, but she has now admitted that she didn't mean to anything unkind because she thinks the girls are great:

"I'm upset about that. I didn't even see the video to comment on it, but I love them and so does Scarlet. Personally, I've never worn skimpy outfits because I don't feel comfortable. I'm athletic. I don't have a voluptuous figure and I've never seen myself as sexual. But some people do like to dress that way and that's absolutely fine."

Little Mix, meanwhile, recently enjoyed the highest first week sales for UK girl group No.1 since Spice Girls’ Spiceworld with their new album Glory Days.
