Loose Women today and recalled one incident at the Brit Awards during her time with the Spice Girls that nearly cost her her job.Sporty Spice described the moment as a "kerfuffle" between herself and Victoria Beckham, with the big bosses making it a "huge issue".Mel appeared on Friday's Loose Women to chat to panellists Kaye Adams, Stacey Solomon, Nadia Sawalha and Judi Love.They questioned the singer: "You thought you were getting kicked out of the band at one point?"Mel explained: "We were at the Brits in 1996 and no one knew us at that point, we released Wannabe in the summer of that year and this was February."As we’re leaving, there was a little kerfuffle with Victoria, not a major one but I told her where to go."And the next day, it was a huge issue and I was told off for it, and I understand why because we had to stick together as a girl band."I was told if that behaviour ever happened again, then I would be out."Mel said that the argument had happened after a night of the girlband drinking champagne, with the ceremony taking place before their careers skyrocketed.The singer also opened up about a remark about the size of her thighs as a young girl that led to her cutting out certain food types, before other catalysts eventually triggered eating disorders.Panellist Nadia mentioned how upset she was reading how a comment about Mel's body during her early twenties changed how she saw her body going forward in life."It was really early on in the Spice Girl's journey and I did a backflip," Mel began as she recalled the story herself.She continued: "Someone commented how they were surprised I could do a backflip with 'thighs that big'."I never had any body image issues up until that point, I was what we would deem as a.
