Mel B and her family will spend Christmas Day in Rwanda on the invitation of President Paul Kagame.

The 38-year-old singer is friends with the President's son and daughter, having met them while living in the US.

"We've got this whole amazing trip planned," she told Britain's Closer magazine.

"We will have our own Christmas in LA before we leave, with stockings, presents and a big roast dinner, then we'll get our bags packed.

"We have a safari planned too."

The former Spice Girls singer, who will co-host the prime breakfast spot on 2Day FM in 2014, is spending Christmas with her husband Stephen Belafonte, their three daughters, and his daughter from a previous relationship.
