Melanie Brown at the MOBOsMelanie Brown has revealed she had a bit of a scare during rehearsals for last night’s MOBO Awards - she thought she was losing her sight.

The Spice Girl, who was hosting the ceremoney, told the Mirror: “I had a bit of a nightmare. I was reading the autocue and then suddenly I realised that I couldn’t see properly.

“I had laser treatment done to correct it [about eight years ago], but it’s started to reverse in one eye. It’s scary, I’m going blind again.

“I had to run out to the opticians during rehearsals and they tested my eyes and now I have to wear glasses again. It’s been so long since I wore glasses, they feel weird.”

Mel wore contact lenses with her futuristic silver outfit for the ceremony itself.
