Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown is apparently going to get back the father of her yet unborn child one way or another. Mel B has reportedly hired a witch doctor to get Eddie Murphy to return.

The 31-year old singer, who was recently and unceremoniously dumped by Murphy, has reportedly paid a great deal of money (about 450 pounds) for a voodoo priestess called Tabitha to complete a series of rituals that will bring the comic actor back into her life.

A close friend of the five-month pregnant singer revealed that Scary Spice was "heartbroken" when Murphy bolted, and that she is now hoping that the witch doctor will be able to return him to her, according to the Himalayan Times.

"She was heartbroken when they split and was prepared to try anything to win Eddie back. She'd heard about the powers witch doctors have and when everything else failed she knew it was her only hope," the News of the World quoted the friend, as saying.

It is also being reports that Mel B had not only transformed an 800pounds-a-night luxury hotel room into a voodoo temple, but had also urinated in an olive jar her desperate bid to get rid of Murphy's party-going pals.
