After parting ways with her longtime manager Nancy Phillips, who she always worked with during her Spice Girls days, Mel has decided to appoint her boyfriend of two years, Joe Marshall, to the role.

A source told the Sun on Sunday: "It's not a long-term plan but if things work out well, who knows what could happen?

"It is a huge display of trust from Mel as her singing career is incredibly important to her."

Mel previously revealed that Joe gives her confidence in her career.

She said: "My partner gave me confidence. He challenges me but respects and loves me.

"I don't think I've ever been in a relationship where someone has got my back."

Mel has an eight-year-old daughter, Scarlett Starr, from a previous relationship with Thomas Starr and she admitted last year that she would consider having more children with Joe.

She said: "I've never wanted to get married but maybe I've never met the person. Life's complicated. So no plans!

"It would be lovely to think about more children in the future."

Meanwhile, Mel opted not to join a Spice Girls reunion last year after her bandmate Victoria Beckham decided against it.

She said: "I know there are people that want to see it. But there were various reasons ... but the one thing that I couldn't get away from was that, we did reunite as a five piece [for the Olympics] and it was so incredible, and for me we are like a jigsaw puzzle and if there's a piece missing it's not complete. We're not a band of interchangeable parts. So for me, it didn't feel right."
