Mel C is sharing some behind-the-scenes insights about the Spice Girls.
In a recent appearance on “Cosmopolitan’s Blind Date,” she was asked which member of the iconic girl group was the most enthusiastic about dating during their rise to fame in the 90s. Melanie Chisolm, better known as Mel C, quickly identified Mel B, or Melanie Brown, as the standout.
Mel C paused to choose her words carefully, saying, “I would say the best success rate…” as she searched for a more tactful expression.
Ultimately, she described “Scary Spice,” Mel B, who is now 50, as being “very popular.”
When the conversation turned to who offered the best advice about dating, Mel C, now 52, once again named Mel B, praising her as “a cool girl.”
“She doesn’t get too wrapped up in things,” Mel C added.
The “Wannabe” hitmaker also divulged during the discussion that the group’s members — including “Baby Spice” Emma Bunton, 50, “Posh Spice” Victoria Beckham, 52, and “Ginger Spice” Geri Halliwell, 53 — were shocked when told their girl band ambitions weren’t realistic.
“We were told girl bands didn’t sell in the way that boy bands did,” the singer said incredulously. “What a brilliant thing to say to the Spice Girls, right?”
She added, “We were like, f–k that!” Mel C went on, recalling that the group “went out and we were determined to prove everybody wrong.”
It turns out Mel B, meanwhile, isn’t just remembered for being a popular member of the girl group — she’s also been one of the most outspoken about a reunion.
In March, the songstress told Page Six, “In a perfect world, we’d already be on tour right now, touring the whole entire world.”
“I’m always the one going, ‘Yes, we’re going on tour,’” she continued, just days after reports that the beloved band’s 30th anniversary reunion was canceled.
“I would love to go on tour,” Mel B added. “I would love to do music, but it isn’t happening.”
