MEL B - MEL B TO FRONT NEW FASHION LABEL

Former SPICE GIRL MEL B is being lined up to become the face of a new British fashion label.

Asian businessman JOJAR DHINSA wants his new line of hip-hop clothing to rival American entrepreneur DAMON DASH's ROCAWEAR range - of which Mel's former Spice Girls bandmate VICTORIA BECKHAM is a former spokesmodel.

Dhinsa - who will soon employ 250 staff across six stores across London - has held talks with the one-time SCARY SPICE and is close to securing a deal.
