Mel C has opened up on an intense incident which saw her almost being fired from the Spice Girls!

It happened after Mel apparently told Victoria Beckham to "F*** off"!

The pop star revealed she “lost control” in the moment and that her words had serious consequences.

The group was formed back in 1994 (hard to believe it's been that long) and they went on to become one of the most popular girl bands in the world! And one of the best if we do say so...

The incident that occured happened at the 1996 Brit Awards. Mel said she and the group were sat next to Lenny Kravitz as they sipped on champagne and watched the acts of the night.

Speaking on the How To Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast Mel said: We were all a little tipsy, probably quite drunk and there was a little incident"

She continued: "The next day the girls told me under no uncertain terms that it was unacceptable - Then Simon Fuller, who was our manager at the time, wanted to speak to me. And I was threatened with being ousted from the band if any behaviour like that happened again."

The Spice Girls star went to say that: "Being in the Spice Girls meant everything to her" and that it "broke her heart"

She finished talking about the incident by saying: "It shook me in that, wow I've done something without realising that could've been so destructive. I've kinda lost control - And that was the moment I started to have issues with control. I needed to control myself, my behaviour, my weight..It became really unhealthy."

The girl group went on hiatus in 2000 and speculations are reporting that the girls may reunite for Glastonbury 2023!
