Melanie C shares memories about school and cool teachers, reveals stories of gate-crashing karaoke booths and taking Hollywood Bowl invites from Coldplay whilst in a nail bar!

Melanie C talks to Greg and Bella about her school days and remembers a very cool choir teacher.

She shares what life was like growing up in Widnes, surrounded by her mum's vinyl records at home, and talks about her first crush on Adam Ant and her love of school discos.

She recalls the teachers that helped her along her way, leaving home at 16, reflects on life as Sporty Spice, and how her love of sport has followed her through her life after she set a sports record at her school.

We hear the latest about her recent time in America - including her experiences on Dancing With The Stars, and the moment that Chris Martin invited her on stage with Coldplay at the Hollywood Bowl after video calling her in a nail bar.

Melanie also reveals the moment her and Emma Bunton gate-crashed someone else's karaoke booth to sing... yes, you've guessed it... some Spice Girls bangers!

Greg and Bella share some of the crazy school urban myths you've been sending in to teachme@bbc.co.uk and there's more of your feedback on the term so far.
