‘I told her where to go’: Mel C recalls almost being removed from the Spice Girls after having a heated tiff with Victoria Beckham at the Brit Awards over 25 years ago
Mel C revealed she had an argument with former bandmate Victoria Beckham back in 1996 whilst they attended the Brit Awards.
The former Spice Girl described the moment as a ‘kerfuffle’ while appearing on Friday’s Loose Women, admitting: ‘I told her where to go’.
But the moment got the singer, known as Sporty Spice, in some hot water, with bosses threatening to remove her from the band if it happened again.

She appeared on the show to chat with panellists Kaye Adams, Stacey Solomon, Nadia Sawalha and Judi Love.
And as they questioned: ‘You thought you were getting kicked out of the band at one point?’
Mel explained: ‘We were at the Brits in 1996 and no one knew us at that point, we released Wannabe in the summer of that year and this was February.

Told off: ‘And the next day, it was a huge issue and I was told off for it, and I understand why because we had to stick together as a girlband,’ she continued
‘As we’re leaving, there was a little kerfuffle with Victoria, not a major one but I told her where to go.
‘And the next day, it was a huge issue and I was told off for it, and I understand why because we had to stick together as a girlband,’ she continued.
Mel admitted that the argument came after a night of drinking champagne at the awards, which took place just before their career took off.

Previously, the star explained: I was told if that behaviour ever happened again, then I would be out,’ when chatting on the incident.
And despite leaving it at ‘kerfuffle’ during the Loose Women appearance, she has also said in the past the she swore at Posh during the argument.
But it appears the rift was quickly ironed out, with the pair still pals over 25 years on as they reunited for bandmate Geri Horner’s 50th birthday just last month.
