Mad, Sad and Bad with Paloma Faith

Mel B: Finding Love Again After Escaping Abuse


Listen Later

Mel B is an icon - she was always my favourite Spice Girl because I felt similar to her in some ways, so I was over the moon to invite her over to my house to chat...


Mel's energy and zest for life exudes off her but there was a time in her life, in an abusive relationship, where she was a shadow of her former strong and powerful self. However, beyond that sadness, we talk about the madness of Spice Girls euphoria and how she is an absolute bad-ass - the reason I loved her so much in the first place.


Spending time with Mel was everything I hoped it would be - chaotic, hilarious and moving.
