Mel B Announced As Host Of Dancing With The Stars In Australia!

07 February 2012

Melanie Brown has extended her Australian television career after agreeing to sign on to fill Sonia Kruger's ex role as the host of Dancing With The Stars!

The ex Spice girl moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to take part in the American version of the reality show, and ended up coming second!

She headed to Oz last year after landing the gig as a judge on The X-Factor, and Aussie TV bosses liked what she did so much they've hired her to host the celebrity dancing contest!

When asked about the show, Mel revealed, "Doing Dancing with the Stars in America changed me. I've danced all my life, and, of course, with the Spice Girls, but there was something so intoxicating about learning to dance in such a classic, trained way. It was intense, but I loved every moment. I'm still annoyed I didn't win!"

"As any contestant on DWTS will tell you, it does change your life. I will be bringing my experiences to the show, and will be very protective of this year's group."

Mel B has also hinted she's considering a permanent move to Sydney after admitting she had fallen in love with the Aussie way of life.

Do you think Mel B will do a better job than Sonia Kruger?
