Mel B fell pregnant within days of meeting Eddie Murphy, it has been claimed.

The former Spice Girl - who is said to be four months pregnant with twins - is rumoured to have conceived the first time she spent the night with the comic actor.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "She is about four months pregnant, which is about as long as their relationship. It must have happened the first time they slept together - or pretty close to that anyway.

"Some people would be terrified about having a baby so soon, but not these two. They are delighted and Mel hasn't stopped grinning. She has a little bump already. But it will pretty obvious soon."

The couple have enjoyed a whirlwind romance since meeting in June, and they even have had tattoos of each other's names etched onto their bodies to demonstrate their love for one another.

They are rumoured to be tying the knot in a lavish, star-studded ceremony next month.

Mel already has a 7-year-old daughter, Phoenix Chi, from her marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar, while Eddie, 45, has five children with ex-wife Nicole and another son from a previous relationship.
