Melanie B has come second in US show Dancing with the Stars.
"Scary Spice" lost out as a result of the viewers vote to Brazillian racing driver Helio Castroneves.
Mel and her dancing partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, got top marks from the judges for their final Mamba dance.
According to the BBC she admitted coming second "was a horrible feeling - I'm not going to deny it."
Earlier this week she was supported in the audience by her fellow Spice Girls. Source: Ananova

Spice Girls drop greatest hits album for now
The Spice Girls have dropped plans to release a greatest hits album after a series of rows between them.
The Sun says the five have pulled the release date because Mel C didn't want to be part of a concert promoting the CD.
And bosses at Virgin Records refused to spend millions of pounds plugging the disc unless all five agreed to sing at the one-off gig.
The paper says Melanie B, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham were keen to go ahead with the show. But apparently Melanie C still believes she can find solo success, says the paper.
A source said: "Mel refuses to join the girls on stage because she still dreams of making it big by herself.
But she's on her smallest tour ever - and that's struggling.
"She told the others she was happy to do TV interviews to plug the album but that was it. The money men at Virgin said a big concert was the only way to guarantee massive publicity, so they pulled plans for a release in the first week of November.
The source added: "They have agreed to release the greatest hits in 2006. It's billed as ten years of the Spice Girls since they released their first single Wannabe in 1996.
"The girls reckon Mel will be back with her tail between her legs by then. Her solo career will be a distant memory so she'll have no choice but to jump on the bandwagon." Source: Ananova

Mel B and Ginger Spice bump into each other in LA
Former Spice Girl Melanie B says she didn't have much to say to Ginger Spice when the pair met recently in Los Angeles.
Scary Spice, who is trying to carve out an acting career, bumped into Geri Halliwell while out shopping recently, says the Daily Star.
She said: "I had just left a department store in LA and Geri was right there in front of me. I was like: "Er, hi." I had nothing to say.
"Moments like that are just so awkward. With Geri, it's like we were sisters but now we're both totally doing our own things so it was really weird meeting her like that.
"We just don't have the time to see each other any more. And there's nothing I would really want to say to her anyway," added Mel B.
She also said she is determined to take her acting seriously and is currently gearing up to star in the Broadway musical Rent.
"Ideally I would love to produce and star in a US sitcom," she said. Source: Ananova
