Mel C is getting candid about the Spice Girls.
When asked during a recent episode of “Cosmopolitan’s Blind Date” which member of the girl group was “the most boy crazy” when they hit superstardom in the 90s, Mel C — aka Melanie Chisolm — pointed to Mel B, aka Melanie Brown.
“I would say the best success rate…” Mel C began, noting that she’s “trying to find a better way of putting it.”
She then said that “Scary Spice” Mel B, now 50, “was very popular.”
“Sporty Spice” Mel C, now 52, was then asked by the outlet who “gave the best dating advice,” and the answer was again Mel B “because she’s 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.
“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.”
