Lip Sync Battle UK will be 'just as good' as US version

Mel B says Lip Sync Battle UK will be just as good as the American version.

The US show, which has a huge YouTube following, begins on Friday night on Channel 5 and is presented by Scary Spice and Professor Green.

"This show is so cool and edgy and has a different younger audience," Mel tells Newsbeat.

"With it being a UK show [we're going to get] UK celebrities to come on but they're going to be the same quality of people as the American show."

Watch Anne Hathaway performing Wrecking Ball as Miley Cyrus on the US show.

Lip Sync Battle sees two celebrities fighting it out to see who is better at miming.

They perform two songs, one as themselves and one impersonating another artist.

"I'm excited to see how serious the celebrities will take it," Professor Green says.

He's been watching loads of clips of the show online and hopes Frankie Boyle will take part.

"The good thing is they get to choose their own song so it's a song they know and a song they like and hopefully it's a song everybody else knows so they can have the audience singing along or laughing along," says Mel B.

The first episode sees Britain's Got Talent judges David Walliams and Alesha Dixon go head to head.

And it will be the first time Mel B and Professor Green will have worked together.

He admitted to Newsbeat he's a "big Spice Girls fan" so couldn't wait to work with Mel.

His favourite Spice Girls song is 2 Become 1, in case you were wondering.

Speaking of the Spice Girls, is there any truth in rumours they'll reunite for their 20th anniversary this year?

Scary wouldn't confirm or deny the speculation but did say they are "definitely looking to do something to celebrate".
