Melanie Brown, better known as , is head over heels for her soon-to-be husband as they plan to tie the knot at none other than in the centre of London. The America's Got Talent judge has already revealed some insight into her wedding planning, and she confirmed on TODAY that they will be exchanging vows at the iconic cathedral.

It's the same spot that the late and Prince Charles’s royal wedding took place, back in 1981. While many people dream of hosting a wedding at the sought-after spot, Mel B revealed the VIP treatment that allowed her to secure the gig.

She explained that it's thanks to her MBE title (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) that she can be wed in the historic building.

On TODAY, she shared: "I got an MBE for all my charity work that I’ve been doing. It was actually that gave me my little honorary badge. And it’s quite a big deal.

"I didn’t realise how much of a big deal it was until I started reading about it, and then I started getting really nervous. It was really lovely. So because of that, I am going to get married in the same church as Princess Diana.”

While the date of the wedding is unknown, it's thought that St Paul's only hosts a small amount of weddings each year, and so the couple is on the waiting list. Although one thing already ticked off the list is the ever-important wedding dress, which she has had designed by her fellow Spice Girls member.

will be designing both Mel B's dress and her mother's. The pop star revealed that it was an "honour" to receive it.

“I don't think it would be fair to just have one [wedding dress]. Just have as many as you want — at least three, right?" she added. "One to actually get married in, which is the proper ceremony, very proper at this church, St Paul’s. And then maybe I want to change out of that.”

Her partner Rory McPhee is a hair stylist and businessman from Leeds and was a "family friend" of Mel's way before the two started dating. It's thought that the famous couple have been an item since 2018, but he popped the question back in 2022.

Thanks to his hairdressing skills, which Mel B grew fond of during her time spent in the UK, they were able to bond on a deeper level.

She confessed on TODAY: "So when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments and get my natural curls back. And as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship.”
