Mel C has been feeling "broody" since her fellow Spice Girl Geri Horner announced she is pregnant

However, Mel - who is currently single - doesn't think she'll extend her family because she knows how hard it is to raise a child, especially on your own.

Speaking to the Metro newspaper, she admitted: "Like most women and guys whenever I see a baby I get broody. But I've had a baby and know what hard work it is! Being a parent is the most wonderful and most scary thing you can ever do in your life."

Like most parents, Mel - real name Melanie Chisholm - constantly worries about her daughter Scarlet getting older and is in particular concerned about what effect social media will have on her when she logs on as a teenager.

She added: "But I do worry. Every generation is growing up in such a different world to its parent for all the great things the internet and social media bring us there is a real dark side to it."

Mel - who has just released her new solo album 'Version of Me' and is heading out on tour in support of the LP - also admitted she doesn't like attracting attention to herself, despite the fact she is a world famous pop star.

The 'Say You'll Be There' hitmaker said: "I'm not actually an extrovert. It seems strange. I am happy to go on stage in front of hundreds of thousands of people to perform but I don't really like being looked at very much. I don't feel like I am attracting too much attention. As a young person I wanted to be looked at. With time, that has changed. Having a childhood ambition to be famous and successful you don't really have a full understanding of it. When it happens you re-evaluate everything."
