Mel C shows off jaw-dropping abs as she packs on PDA with boyfriend on swanky yacht

Mel C looks sensational in new snaps in which she shows off her washboard abs on holiday in Ibiza with boyfriend, Chris Dingwall. The pair, who went public with their romance at Glastonbury last year, can be seen larking about onboard a luxury yacht before snuggling up for a kiss under the Spanish sun.

The Spice Girls star, 51, looks like she's living her best life in the snaps - taken on Tuesday - in which she sizzles, sporting a tiny black bikini, showing off her ripped physique and collection of tattoos, including a huge 'Angel' inking across her stomach.

Australian actor, Chris, also looks in great shape as he attempted a back flip off the boat while Mel, who wore her hair loose and appeared makeup free, grinned with delight. It comes after the singer's former bandmate, Emma Bunton, reached out to Geri Halliwell-Horneramid rumours of a feud within the Spice Girls.

Chris and Mel revealed they were dating last summer when they were seen with their arm in arm at Glastonbury. They were then papped at Wimbledon and looked very much a couple as they sat in the Royal Box.

The actor then wished the Scouse star a happy birthday in January, posting a sweet snap of the pair with the caption: “Happy Birthday @melaniecmusic (for yesterday)! Been a beautiful year. Looking forward to another amazing one with you."

The Never Be The Same Again singer, who has a 15-year-old daughter, Scarlet Starr, is notoriously private about her love life. However, Mel, who previously dated Robbie Williams, once spoke about how she was banned from dating in the early days of the Spice Girls - while her bandmates were free to pursue romances.

Speaking to Australia's The Project, she said: "Looking back what struck me was it was one rule for one and another for the others, right? I think when you are vulnerable as well, people go, I don't think it's good for you."

Mel said the rule for the other women was, "she is fine, she can have a boyfriend, she can cope with having a boyfriend, she is strong enough but you are not." 'It makes you question yourself when you are already vulnerable," she added.

The singer was in a relationship with property developer, Thomas Starr, for 10 years. The couple split in 2012 before Mel gave birth to their daughter in 2009.

In an interview with the BBC, the Stop Right Now star admitted that the arrival of her child proved to be a turning point in her life. She said: "Being a mum was so liberating because for the first time in my adult life, it wasn't all about me.

"It made me not only realise I had a huge responsibility to her but I have a huge responsibility to myself. In being her teacher, I had to treat myself better."
