If you’re a young British girl group who are traveling down the tried-and-true road paved by the Spice Girls, and you’ve been commissioned to record the official Sports Relief charity single, then you’d best enlist Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm for at least a cameo in the music video. And actually, that’s exactly what Little Mix did for their “Word Up” visual. The song is a cover of Cameo‘s 1986 funk-pop classic, and the video is a virtual camp fest that finds the quartet aerobicising and creating all-around chaos while several well-known faces flash by the camera, including Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider actor Chris Barrie and, of course, Mel C.

Watch above as Sporty Spice does one of her famous “Say You’ll Be There” high-kicks all in the name of charity…and girl power!
