The former Spice Girls singer is pleased she doesn't embarrass seven-year-old Scarlet - who she has with former partner Thomas Starr - and the youngster loves her music.

She said: "She does like my music. I think she's probably my biggest fan.

"She's very proud of me and she's still young enough that I don't embarrass her too much."

The 'Northern Star' singer penned some of her new album, 'Version of Me', in Los Angeles and was pleased to take Scarlet along to the US with her as they were able to fit in some good vacation time.

She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "We made it into a bit of a holiday, which was lovely.

"I was so eager to take her out there - I've spent a lot of time out there, years ago now when I had no responsibilities. So it was nice to be able to take her and show her all the places I love.

"We did Disney and stayed in the Disney hotel. I'd never been myself.

"That's one of the nicest things about having a kid, you remember how fun it is. You see the world through their eyes."

The 42-year-old star thinks she has struck a good balance between her work and being around for her daughter.

She said: "I've had late nights with shows but I always come in and give Scarlet a big cuddle.

"I'm here in the morning when she gets up for school and that makes a big difference.

"Even when I'm not there at bedtime she knows I'm coming home and I get my cuddles in the morning, which is lovely."
