Mel B was hypnotised for steamy Peepshow

Washington, Apr 15 (ANI): Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has revealed that she had to be hypnotised to gain confidence to perform onstage during her striptease show.

Scary Spice is set to kick off her racy stage production Peepshow in Sin City next week (18Apr09) and admits she needed a little help getting ready for the show.

"My friend hypnotised me before I started rehearsals to have a real open mind," Contactmusic quoted Mel B as telling People magazine.

"I was getting a bit nervous. My anxiety was getting to me. I was hypnotised to calm me down and it worked," she added.

The 33-year-old popstar had recently revealed that she turned to meditation after parting from former beau Eddie Murphy so that she could beat post-split blues. (ANI)
