Scary Spice (AKA Melanie Brown) is a star on "Dancing With the Stars," but after the series ends on Nov. 28, she'll spice up her life with the Spice Girls reunion tour. Scary shared 7 secrets with us about returning to Spice World.

(1) All the Spice Girls were shocked at how fast tickets sold out. "You can never judge what the public reaction is going to be like," she says. "When we were told our tickets sold out in something ridiculous like 38 seconds in London, we all held our breaths."

(2) They've wrapped the new Spice Girls music video. "I saw it today, in one of the final edits. It's really beautifully done. It's very classy. It's very elegant. It's all very grown up." 

(3) Her "Dancing" dancing is different than her Spice Girls dancing. "'Dancing With the Stars' is more technical, because it's ballroom. Spice Girls, it's me, so I put my flavor on it ... it's more street dancing ... you build up a sweat in each."

(4) The Spice Girls rehearse for four hours a day. "We have singing coaches, so we can do our harmonizing. I think we're a little bit better. We've matured with age."

(5) Why she moved to LA six years ago: "London is too cold for me," she says.

(6) She and Victoria Spice are still BFFs. "We have play dates with our kids together, quite a lot. Me and my husband go over there for dinner."

(7) But she won't give us any of David Beckham's secrets. "I'm not going to rat my friends out like that! We're all about protecting and supporting each other."

Am I the only one that finds her increadiably beautiful now. The way she was the first time around was all costumy and theatric. But today you can tell she's matured and she knows how to dress. She looks fantastic.
