She completed the sexy chic look with tumbling tresses and sultry make-up.

The former Spice Girl looked happy and relaxed as she posed alongside her new co-judge Jason Donavan.

She revealed her split earlier this month from property developer boyfriend Thomas Starr, with whom she has three-year-old daughter Scarlet.

The pair met during a holiday in Barbados in 2002.

Mel was recently announced as one of the judges in Superstar, which will follow a group of West End wannabes auditioning for the part of Jesus Christ in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new musical interpretation of Jesus Christ, Superstar.
