Mel B has once again taken aim at her former bandmate Victoria Beckham, after the pop-singer-turned-fashion-mogul’s decision not to join the rest of the Spice Girls on their upcoming reunion tour.
During an interview with Piers Morgan – yes, that same one in which she claimed she and bandmate Geri Horner had sex at the peak of their Spice Girls fame in the 90s – Mel was asked by the host what her thoughts on Victoria were.
Her answer, as reported by The Sun, was simply: “Bit of a bitch.”
Mel went on to say her strong words were only because she was still “gutted” the band wouldn’t be performing as a five-piece on their upcoming UK jaunt.
“I am sad she is not going to be there,” she admitted. “But she is busy with what she is doing with her fashion line and her family. But I am gutted that she is not going to be with us.
“I am still going to hold that candle and hope that she will.”
HuffPost UK has contacted Victoria’s representatives for comment.
Throughout the lengthy discussions about the potential of a Spice Girls reunion, Mel made no secret of her frustration that Victoria didn’t want to be involved, even famously dressing up as her at a Halloween party last year, while brandishing a fake battleaxe etched with the message: “No I am not going on tour.”
Melanie C recently claimed Victoria’s reluctance to take part was because she’s now “petrified” of performing live, in addition to her success in the fashion world keeping her busy.
Piers Morgan’s Life Stories with Mel B is slated to air on ITV later this year.
