Mel B appears to have no qualms about informing the public who’s on her bad side in Hollywood.
In fact, the Spice Girls legend, 48, has just publicly declared who is the ‘biggest d***head celebrity’ out there for the second time this year.
While Joe Lycett tested the Wannabe hitmaker on her Spice Girls expertise, Mel B answered only one question correctly.
When asked by the comedian host which Spice Girl described James Corden as the ‘biggest d***head celebrity’, Mel B shot her arm in the air, channelling Hermione Granger, and said: ‘Me!’
The show moved swiftly on, but those who remember, remember…
In December 2022, Mel B appeared on Channel 4’s The Big Narstie Show and spilled the beans to Mo Gilligan.
‘So, there’s a few,’ Mel began, after being asked who fits the crown. ‘James Corden, Geri Halliwell, Jessie J and me!’
Shocked by the mention of a bandmate, Mo replied: ‘But Geri, she’s your bandmate?’
‘I know, I love her to bits but she’s really f*cking annoying,’ Mel admitted.
Picking up on the mention of Gavin and Stacey actor James, 45, Big Narstie probed: ‘You said James Corden, what did he do?’
‘I think you always have to be nice to the people that you work with whether it be production, camera guys, sound, lighting – we all work for the same thing,’ she responded.
‘So, you should always be nice and he hasn’t been very nice.’
This happened shortly after James was temporarily expelled from a Balthazar restaurant in New York for being ‘very unpleasant’ to the workers, according to the owner, Keith McNally.
After a significant outcry, the owner wrote about the incident on social media, prompting requests for the comic to be ‘banned’ from other locations.
McNally wrote: ‘James Corden is a hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny Cretin of a man. And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.’
During an episode of The Late Late Show, James addressed the event, saying it was ‘never my aim’ to anger workers, but that he had been ‘ungracious’.
Manhattan owner McNally later said Corden rang him and ‘apologised profusely’ – but in an interview with New York Times the Carpool Karaoke star later called the whole thing ‘silly’ and claimed he did nothing wrong.
Late Night Lycett airs Friday at 10pm on Channel 4.
