Melanie C wants to start a family. The former Spice Girl has revealed she dreams of raising children with builder boyfriend Thomas Starr in their Welsh home.

Mel said: "I'm really excited about the next phase in my life. I daydream about living in Wales and taking the kids to school."

Having seen her former band mates become mothers, Mel is determined to get pregnant soon. The 33-year-old said: "I don't want to leave it too late to have children. I need to be strict with myself."

The singer says she is excited about her future with Thomas. Mel revealed: "We really wanted somewhere outside London and we fell in love with the area. It was completely over our budget: too big and needing lots of work, but we bought it anyway. Hopefully, we will make it our home in the future. It is also a house that would make a wonderful family home. I'm really excited about the next phase in my life. I daydream about living in Wales and taking the kids to school."
