One fifth of the most successful girl band ever, the Spice Girls, she went on to carve out a global career as a television entertainer, theatre performer, a movie actress and author of a best-selling autobiography. <br /> <br /> Her career began as a teenager in the Nineties with the pop phenomenon, Spice Girls. As the so-called ‘Scary Spice’ she became one of the most recognisable women in the world. The Spice Girls remain the most successful girl group of all time, selling 85 million records and creating the biggest British cultural impact on the globe since The Beatles. Together they created and spearheaded the Girl Power movement. <br /> <br /> Since the band split in 2000, Melanie – who is a mother to three children, Phoenix, 26, Angel 16, and 12-year-old Madison - went on to carve a new career as a host of television shows.

She has appeared in London’s West End and on Broadway in Rent and most recently as Roxie Hart in Chicago, winning massive acclaim from audiences and critics alike. <br /> <br /> But in 2018 when her explosive book, Brutally Honest, was published, newly divorced Melanie was propelled from celebrity superstar to a serious advocate for anyone who had ever been abused. <br /> <br /> The trailblazing book was re-released in 2024 with three new chapters – Rising from the Ashes. <br /> <br /> She was made Patron of Women’s Aid in 2018 and in 2022 was awarded an MBE by the late Queen for services to vulnerable women. <br /> <br /> Melanie now lives in her hometown of Leeds with her family.

Led by Tsikhanouskaya, Belarusian anti-war activists conducted underground resistance in Belarus by sabotaging railway transportation of Russian troops as well as volunteering Belarusian-staffed units fighting for Ukraine. As the leader of the Belarusian democratic movement, she has visited 28 countries, gathering support and advocating for the release of more than 1500 of political prisoners and a peaceful transition of power through free and fair elections.

Lukashenka publicly dismissed her as a “housewife,” saying that a woman cannot become president. Nonetheless, Tsikhanouskaya united and successfully led the democratic coalition. Following her forced exile, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya inspired unprecedented peaceful protests in Belarus, with some rallies numbering hundreds of thousands people. When the war has started, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya announced the anti-war movement to prevent the participation of Belarus in the war against Ukraine.
