Melanie C was a stunning bride when she married Chris Dingwall in a beautiful ceremony on Saturday, and the Spice Girl could be planning a whole new life Down Under with her new Australian husband, leaving her long-standing Welsh home behind.
The singer and DJ currently has a stunning property located in the Wye Valley of Monmouthshire, and it reportedly cost £1 million for the building in 2004.

Mel acquired it when she was partnered up with Thomas Starr. The pair were together for a decade before they split in 2012.
The star previously told Wales Online: "The house is very old. It is made of Welsh stone and is very beautiful and we are still learning about it. It had been lived in by a family for a long time, they obviously cared about it and there are some great old trees in the garden. It's quite secluded, although it is near the village."
Life Down Under?

"Not that this was mentioned at the wedding, but Mel has been spending more and more time in Australia," an insider told HELLO!.
"She loves it there, so there's speculation she might spend more and more time there or relocate now she's married to an Aussie."
Spice Girls' support

Victoria Beckham was notably absent from the day because she was unable to make the date, but she ensured her former bandmate was showered with love by sending a huge bunch of white flowers.
The singer-turned-designer also inadvertently had a very special part to play in Mel's official ceremony, which was held previously in Australia. Prior to the nuptials, Mel had ordered a lace cami dress from VB but mistakenly ordered the wrong size.
When Victoria caught wind of the disaster, she offered to lend Mel her own gown. "Victoria's dress was my something borrowed," Mel told Vogue. "It was very special, having her there." Victoria also designed Mel's wedding dress for her Cumbria nuptials - and I think you'll agree, she looked incredible!
