Mel C Daughter gave me confidence

Mel C credits her daughter for helping her to become �more confident and courageous'.

The 38-year-old singer : who split from her three-year-old daughter Scarlet's father, Thomas Starr, earlier this year after 10 years with him : admits she experienced �difficult times' when she first became a mum, and is surprised at just how much her life has changed since giving birth.

She said: �I'm so much happier, more confident and courageous and it's all thanks to her.

�There were difficult times. In the middle of the night when she'd cry, then I'd start crying : but the rewards are fantastic.

�I knew when I got pregnant that things would never be the same again, but I didn't realise just how much things would change for me.'

Mel admits she found it �really tough' being away from Scarlet to tour musical �Jesus Christ Superstar' : in which she played Mary Magdalene : and while she always feels �guilty' when she is away from her little one, she admits work is like a break because she is �so exhausted' from looking after her daughter.

She told Youthgossip.com : �I had to go away for two weeks with the �Jesus Christ Superstar' tour. It was really tough. I don't want to do something like that again.

�Being a stay-at-home mum is probably the hardest job because it's so exhausting looking after children.

�Sometimes coming to work feels like a break! But when you go to work, you do have this guilt. It's hard'.
