Popstar Mel B has given free blow dries in her home city - as she tells women they 'need to educate themselves' on abuse.
The 48-year-old singer spent Sunday (April 28) washing competition winner's hair at her fiancé Rory McPhee's salon in Leeds, West Yorks,.
The women had won a competition to meet Scary Spice, have their hair styled and take home a signed copy of Brutally Honest - her book about her abusive marriage.
The singer has now said that women 'need to educate themselves' on abuse, so they 'don't fall for any of it.'
Mel said: "It’s important that we get that message out there that abuse against women needs to stop.
"We need to educate ourselves and stand proud and not fall for any of it.
"Abusers will carry on abusing until they have to stop."
Mel had just arrived from London after attending Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party the previous evening.
But she says she's glad she's now back in her hometown because she can get her 'proper fish and chips and scraps.'
She said: "I just love the fact I can now get my proper fish and chips and scraps.
"The people of Leeds know what I’m talking about."

00:00Today we're at the Rory James Salon. I'm fortunate to be his fiancée, or he's fortunate to be my fiancée.
00:10And it's Rory's day off so I thought, what can we do on Rory's day off?
00:15I can invite some competition winners and we can do their hair and make them feel beautiful and glammed up.
00:22So we're here today, we've got six competition winners.
00:26They all entered and then they were allowed to bring their plus one.
00:29And I do a shampoo that's getting better every time I do it.
00:35And then Rory does his professional thing and then I claim that I've done everything.
00:41The paperback, the new version, was released last month.
00:45The Chief Executive of Women's Aid in particular said it's saving women's lives.
00:49What does it mean to you to have that feedback for the book?
00:52I think it's important that we get that message out there that abuse to women, which predominantly happens to women, it needs to stop.
01:00So we need to educate ourselves and we need to stand proud and not fall for any of that anymore.
01:09Because abusers, they will carry on abusing until they stop.
01:13And that's why this book is so important.
01:16Get it, educate yourselves and be aware because they're out there.
