Sporty Spice Mel C, 49, takes Sydney by storm with a DJ set at exotic floating venue Seadeck

A former Spice Girl rocked Sydney with a DJ set at Seadeck on Friday.

Mel C, 49, who is kicking off her inaugural tour as a DJ, belted out thumping tunes as revelers enjoyed a sunset cruise at the seafaring venue around Sydney Harbour.

The entertainer was dressed in tight, black spandex sportswear, a throwback to her turn as Sporty Spice in the pop sensation girl group.

Mel C rocked as she performed banging ’90s dance classics, and even some of her work with the Spice Girls, as well as her solo work.

Crowds of Spice Girls fans filled the boat-turned-club and partied with one of their idols and enjoyed her infectious energy as the sun set.

Many attendees wore Spice Girls T-shirts and other accessories themed around the famous girl group.

As Mel C’s set reached its climax, many took the opportunity to take a photo with her after the show.

It comes as the former Spice Girl from last month joined the dating app for speed Rayaa year after her divorce from producer ex-boyfriend Joe Marshall.

The couple previously dated Joe for seven years before calling it quits last winter.

Mel’s Raya account features a series of beautiful photos from her Instagram and features her interests as travel, food and cycling.

She uses Stevie Wonder’s catchy 1977 hit Sir Duke as the soundtrack for her profile.

A source told The Sun: ‘Mel is in a really good place. She loves performing and meeting fans.

“Meeting someone would just be a bonus.”

She was also spotted enjoying a series of low-key dates with London gallery owner Cassius Colman in February.

It is believed the couple first met when Cassius, co-owner of trendy east London gallery Nelly Duff, was working on Mel’s 1998 video When You’re Gone With Bryan Adams.

A source told the publication: ‘Mel and Cassius enjoy each other’s company and get along really well.

‘They don’t rush into anything and they enjoyed a few dates in London. Everything is going well and she seems very happy.’

Mel, who performed at Camp Bestival in Shropshire on Sunday, started dating Joe in 2015 – with the pair even living together in north London.

Following the split, it was claimed that the star is ‘not afraid of being single’ as busy schedules got in the way of her romance.

According to The Sun, a source explained that her free time is limited, with Mel hoping to spend what free time she has with daughter Scarlet, who she shares with her property developer ex Thomas Starr.

The source said: ‘Mel has an incredibly busy career between her book deal, DJing and other plans.

‘What little free time she has, she spends on her daughter Scarlett, and that doesn’t leave much time for a relationship.’

They said the split was amicable, but added: “Mel isn’t afraid to be single if she thinks it’s best.”

Mel and Joe are known for keeping their relationship under the radar despite living together – with the singer acting as stepmother to his two daughters.

The singer started dating the music director in December 2015, and after their romance went from strength to strength, she also made him her manager.

The brunette said of Joe in an interview with Closer in 2016: ‘He challenges me, but respects and loves me. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a relationship where someone had my back.’

Mel previously referenced her split from ex Thomas in 2012 and admitted it was her daughter who provided the impetus to do it.

Speaking on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, the Wannabe hitmaker said: ‘I make big decisions. It was hard to leave her father, but I wasn’t happy and she wasn’t happy, and it wasn’t the environment I wanted my child to grow up in.”
