Fifth season ‘DWTS’ runner-up Melanie Brown confirms there will be a reality show starring Shannon Elizabeth and her dance partner Derek Hough. I caught up with the Spice Girl backstage after Monday’s “Dancing with the Stars” performance show.

Shannon, 34, and Derek, 22, were eliminated in Week 7 of “DWTS” and made plenty of headlines, from getting caught smooching in Malibu to lashing out at the judges during an emotional backstage interview. [watch the video]

The new show will follow the couple, as their careers evolve and their romance blossoms. Mel even hinted the two may be moving in together…

How does Mel B know? She’s producing the show, along with her husband and producing partner Stephen Belafonte.
