Mel C "can't be bothered" with abdominal crunches now she doesn't don crop tops.

The singer was famed for showing off her toned torso in tummy-baring tops in the Spice Girls. Mel - who was nicknamed Sporty Spice while in the popular girl band - has relaxed her workout regime since the group disbanded.

"I don't do that many. I find them boring!" she laughed when asked about the most ab crunches she's done in one sitting.

"But back in the day when the abs were out every day in the old crop tops, I'd maybe do about 150 in a session or something. But I really can't be bothered doing that anymore."

Mel sports a number of body inkings. The 38-year-old star admits feeling unhappy about her tattoos at times.

"Yeah, I regret them - I have a love-hate relationship with my tattoos and sometimes I really regret stuff, because I am so different to the person who got them in her early twenties," she explained to UK magazine Heat.

"But then, on other days, I love my tattoos. I've got these really freakish arms without them. I've just got so used to seeing them and they're a part of me.
