    Mel B's daughter Phoenix Brown didn't know who to trust when she was at school

    The 25-year-old influencer - who is the daughter of Spice Girl Mel and her ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar - never felt as if she could turn to anyone for advice as the child of a famous person and always wondered whether her classmates were interested in her or her mother.


    Speaking on UK TV show 'Lorraine', she said: "It's definitely hard. It's something you can't ask for advice on. When I was bullied, everyone hated me and then I got older, everyone loved me but I thought 'Are they here for me, or do they want to just see the house?'"

    Phoenix - who fronts the documentary 'Born in the Limelight - Nepo Babies: UNTOLD' - feels she has to "prove herself twice as hard" as the child of a celebrity, but ultimately "respects" everything her mother achieved as a member of the world's best-selling girl group.

    She said: "I've always said I feel like any job you get, the first door is the hardest to get, but as soon as you're in, if you're not good at it, then you're gonna be booted. "And I feel like that goes for everything. So there's nepotism here and there but of people weren't good at their job, then they wouldn't be continuing a career for it.

    "You've gotta prove yourself twice as hard but it's worth it. You gotta prove people wrong here and there and coming from what my mom did and how much he achieved, the only real explanation for me to say is that I respect it."

    In terms of her own career, Phoenix is keen to continue in the media and is ultimately looking forward to the future.

    She said: "I loved [making the documentary]. I don't think I'm gonna be not doing that. I 'd love to continue doing that, I wanna be on the TV in front of people's faces talking about stuff so I am excited to continue."
