Towie hunk Charlie King to be Mel B’s fitness guru as he plans move to LA
The telly star is set to train Scary Spice in a bid to launch a US health career after they hit it off at the LGBT awards
FORMER Towie hunk Charlie King is set to become Mel B’s fitness trainer.
The reality star is in talks to instruct singer Scary Spice after the pair hit it off at the LGBT awards, which they co-hosted together.
But this won’t be just a one-way relationship.
Sources say Charlie — who appeared on TOWIE in 2013 — is hoping to make it big in Los Angeles as a personal trainer.
And they say Mel — who is gearing up for a Spice Girls’ Summer reunion with Geri Horner and Emma Bunton this year — is prepared to help him achieve his goals.
A source said: “They got on at the awards and have been in touch ever since. Charlie is planning his move to LA and Mel has agreed to put him in touch with all the right people in exchange for some fitness coaching.”
