During an interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, Mel B claimed that she and Geri slept togethre in in the 1990s.
* * *
PIERS: There were rumours you and Geri were more than just good friends. You had a little dabble?
Anything you want to share with the group?
MEL: (Long silence).
PIERS: No denial?
MEL: She had great boobs.
PIERS: So you did?
MEL: Well, not really . . .
PIERS: Well, you clearly did, right? Yes?
Mel looks to Mel C in the audience for support who says: “I don’t know anything” to which Mel B replies: “Oh, whatever Mel.”
Mel C replies: “This is all new to me.”
PIERS: Your book is called Brutally Honest and you are coming here to be brutally honest?
Did you or didn’t you with Geri Halliwell?
MEL: Well, what do you consider as doing it or not?
PIERS: Did you sleep with her?
MEL: Yeah, we all slept in a bed together but not “like that” all of us.
PIERS: Did you sleep with Geri “like that”?
MEL: (nods and smiles).
PIERS: Yes? Really?
MEL: She’s going to hate me for this because she’s all posh in her country house and her husband. But it’s a fact. It just happened and we just giggled at it and that was it.
PIERS: How many times a day?
MEL: Stop it, you pervert!
PIERS: Did it go on for a while? Were you in love?
MEL: We were best friends. It just happened. Have you ever done that?
PIERS: Yeah, but not with the same sex.
MEL: Maybe with a lady that’s a friend. It just happens one time, you talk about it and it doesn’t really happen again.
PIERS: So just once?
MEL: Yeah.
PIERS: This is a Spice Girls bombshell. You have never admitted this before have you? People are going to be fascinated.
MEL: Yeah and I’ve said it now. All done. She’s going to kill me and so’s her husband. She’s not that posh now, is she?
PIERS: Shall we leave it there? Fascinating.
MEL: I love awkward. We can go on like this all night.
PIERS: Anything with Mel C?
MEL: Well, when I got my tongue pierced we all kissed. But that was just a kiss because I wanted to know what it felt like. It was just a silly kiss. Nothing sexual like that.
PIERS: Not like you and Geri?
MEL: It was just that once.
PIERS: But we did not know about that one time. You just revealed it.
MEL: Yeah, all right. I’m an honest person. I didn’t put it in my book because that wasn’t what my book was about. It was brutally honest in a different way.
And hopefully when Geri gets asked that, which hopefully she will after this, she won’t deny it. Because it was just a fun thing.
PIERS: You gave me an honest answer and I applaud you for it.
