Melanie ChisholmIf the Spice Girls do get back together, Melanie Chisholm might not be Popular Spice amongst her bandmates - she has blasted her former bandmates’ solo music and their decision to write autobiographies at a young age.

Speaking on ITV’s Orange Playlist, she said she feels Geri Halliwell and Melanie Brown’s solo work marred her own album’s reception: “Geri released an album, which didn’t do well at all, as did Mel B. And so you just get tarred with the same brush and then you become a bit of a failure as well.”

“But I have made the best records. And I’m not joking when I say that.”

Regarding their autobiographies, she added: “It irritates me that people write biographies now, when they’re in their twenties. It’s just pound signs, isn’t it?”

She also admitted that there were tensions within the group the first time around, noting a particular occasion when it got violent: “We were drunk in LA and it got a bit ‘pushy-shovey’. Geri tried to split us up and got a punch.”

“God knows what it was about. Mel was probably being a b*tch.”
