Mel C has exposed the grubbiest Spice Girl as she reveals "exhausting" 90s tour life.
Real name Melanie Jayne Chisholm, the 48-year-old has opened up about one certain girl band member who "can be chaos".
Formed in 1994, the Spice Girls, made up of Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Mel C, are the best-selling female group of all time.
They split in 2000 and have reunited for tours and TV appearances over the years and in November 2018 they announced a UK tour, without Victoria Beckham.
Mel C has now spoken up about their 'exhausting' tour life in the 90s – a stark contrast from their experience taking to the stage in 2019.
Speaking of the grubbiest band member, she said: "I'm not gonna throw any of the girls under the bus, but I think it's fair to say – and she wouldn't mind – Mel B, like her personality, as we all know, can be chaos."
"There would be times when things were all over the shop," she told Heat magazine. "But then every once in a while, she'd just have this tidy spree.
"And that is very much like her personality – she's a million miles and hour, but every now and again, it's like, 'Right, order'. And she gets everything cleaned up."
She recalled tour rehearsals three years ago, saying the group would call themselves "d*******s".
"Because Mel B will be in leopard print, and I'll be in me trackies," she added. "Even just the way we behave – we are caricatures of our nicknames – there's no getting away from it.
"If anyone ever doubted it or felt that it was a marketing idea, if you spent any time with us, you’d be like 'No, they literally are what they say on the tin'."
Comparing tour life in 2019 to their early days before the noughties, Mel C says their most recent leg was "wonderful" and they all "really appreciated it".
She added: "I think in the ’90s, we were under so much pressure and we were so exhausted, because it just been non-stop for almost a couple of years until we got on tour.
"But then in 2019, we came back and we were playing bigger venues than we played back then."
Mel said it made everything "feel more real" and that they would "reminisce and look back" but would still be amazed by their modern-day crowd.
She said: "When you see 70,000 people losing their s**t every night at the gigs over 20 years later, it’s just like, 'Wow, we really did affect so many people in such a positive way'."
Mel says the public reaction was "real affirmation" for all of the Spice Girls members.
