Murphy

The former Spice Girl has named Eddie as the father of three-week-old girl Angel Iris Murphy on the birth certificate and says the tot resembles the actor.

She said in an interview with Britain's OK! magazine: "I look at the baby and she has his big smile and dimples. She's gorgeous, she has taken the best bits of both of us."

Mel, 31, admits she was devastated by the way Eddie publicly ended their seven-month relationship and demanded a DNA test, but insists she still has "nothing but love" for him.

She said: "I couldn't hate Eddie. I fell so in love with him. We had a dream life together and I'm thankful that I experienced it."

DNA tests are already underway at the 'Norbit' actor's insistence.

Mel revealed he has not contacted her since she gave birth - on Eddie's birthday - but refused to rule out a reunion with the 46-year-old star.

Fantasy world

She added: "In my fantasy world this would never have happened and we would have been living happily ever after. We would be married and having more kids."

Mel claims the couple enjoyed a blissful relationship before Eddie's shock TV interview four months ago, and revealed they even got tattoos of each other's names.
