Mel C: Little Mix are too provocative for my daughter
Quote:
The mum-of-one hit out at the girls, saying they’ve simply become too sexy for her seven-year-old daughter Scarlett.
Mel, 42, told the Sunday People: “I love Little Mix. I loved them from The X Factor. I just thought they were so different.
“But they are getting more provocative. To me, they were kind of the closest thing to the Spice Girls we’ve seen.
“They are all gorgeous and great singers. But they weren’t sexy and it’s got more and more that way. I love them – but I just say, ‘Stay you’.”
Reflecting on how times have changed since the band won The X Factor in 2011 – and since the Spice Girls were first around, Mel added: “She [Scarlett] is a massive Little Mix fan but I’ve started to be more sparing in what I show her.
“I don’t let her watch videos by artists that aren’t appropriate for her. That makes me a bit sad.”
The singer went on: "All young women want to look sexy and hot so I understand it’s hard. But I think it’s such a shame. We live in a narcissistic age – it’s 100 per cent worse than when I was in the Spice Girls.
"It was a more innocent time, although we were criticised for wearing crop tops."
