MELANIE C - MEL C HITS OUT AT LESBIAN RUMOURS

SPICE GIRL MEL C is baffled by persistent rumours she is secretly gay, because she has a long history of dating high profile men. Chisholm's ex-boyfriends include Robbie Williams, Anthony Kiedis and Damon Albarn and she is currently in a six year relationship with property developer Thomas Starr. But the rumours - which began during her first days in the girl group - have never gone away. Sporty Spice says, "There have always been questions about my sexuality, which is quite puzzling to me, because I've never questioned it."
