London - Mel B is to star in her own Las Vegas burlesque show.

The former Spice Girl will play leading lady Peep Diva in the classy Peepshow strip show in 2009.

"This part is great for me. As a Spice Girl I would bring guys on the stage and whip them, so I think I've always been slightly naughty," Mel - who is married to film producer Stephen Belafonte - told People magazine.

"Mel can't wait. She won't go topless, but she will be showing a considerable amount of flesh in a range of sexy stage outfits. I'm sure Mel's husband is hoping she will bring some of them home," a source said.

Peepshow is set to open at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in April 2009.

Original show

The production will feature Mel's character leading another dancer, Bo Peep - played by US TV star Kelly Monaco - from a timid girl to a confident, sensual woman.

"This is an original show. The Peep Diva is a diva, but it's all about empowering Kelly's part," Mel, 33, added.

Both Mel and Kelly have previously appeared on Dancing with the Stars.

"We have gathered 20 of the sexiest dancers from film, video, and Broadway to bring a truly American form of entertainment back to the strip," said show creator, choreographer Jerry Mitchell.

"The art of the tease, mixed with humour, razzle-dazzle, and today's sexy music, with Peepshow these stunning dancers will use their bodies to tell a story."
