Rob Rinder and Charlotte Hawkins were delighted to hear the news 

Mel B is something of a TV competition veteran as she makes up one quarter of the judging panel on America’s Got Talent. 

Earlier this week, she stunned fans when she pressed her Golden Buzzer to steal self-taught aerialist Aidan Bryant from Heidi Klum on Monday’s episode of AGT.

The English singer shocked Heidi, 50, when she slammed the buzzer to steal Aidan, 19, during the two-hour semifinals episode that featured performances by 10 acts.

Aidan, who previously won AGT: All-Stars, impressed yet again with his dangerous high-flying act that earned a standing ovation from the audience and howls of joy from his coach Heidi.

Aidan said it was his first Golden Buzzer and that he felt blessed. ‘I was literally speechless and I think I still am. My Golden Buzzer says it all. You’re just incredible,’ Mel said.

As well as big career moves, Mel is also headed towards exciting personal milestones as she is preparing to tie the knot to fiancé Rory McPhee.

She recently revealed her wedding will include a personalised touch as she revealed Victoria Beckham has designed one of her bridal gowns.

The singer, has reunited with her Spice Girl bandmate, 49, in preparation for the big day and has entrusted the fashion designer with the important task of creating both her and the mother of the bride’s dress.

Mel also revealed she will tie the knot at London landmark St. Paul’s Cathedral after being granted special permission to marry at the venue due to the MBE she received in May 2022 for services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.

Appearing on Today with Hoda & Janna, Mel revealed: ‘Victoria actually designed my dress and my mom’s dress. It’s such a beautiful honour to get.’

Mel revealed in September 2023 that Victoria was keen to design the dress, and it seems the star has kept her word.

The singer also revealed she is planning three outfit changes for her big day and has her eye peeled for two more dresses.

She explained: ‘I don’t think it would be fair to just have one. Just have as many as you want — at least three, right?’

She said: ‘I’m going to really go for it. One to actually get married in, which is the proper ceremony — very proper at this church, St. Paul’s [Cathedral]. And then maybe I want to change out of that and be a bit more less… You know, I actually don’t know!’
