I Googled myself to find out when my divorce was… I even had to do it once at passport control, says Mel B
MELANIE Brown has revealed that she had too Google herself to find out when she got divorced, as she had completely forgotten.
The Spice Girl was a guest on this week’s episode of Olivia Atwood’s podcast, So Wrong It’s Right, and revealed all to the Love Island star.
Asked by the Loose Women panelist whether she had ever Googled herself, Scary Spice said: “Oh I did have to do that not so long ago to find out when I actually did get divorced, so I could know what lawyer to contact to get my divorce papers.”
“I think it’s useful if you forget stuff, like if you forget how many kids you’ve got or how old they are”, she joked.
Olivia shot back: “It’s a useful tool if you’re world famous”.
Mel B was married to actor Jimmy Gulzar from 1998 to 2000 and to film producer Stephen Belafonte from 2007 to 2017.
The singer is now engaged again, to hair dresser Rory Mcphee and the pair plan to marry in St Paul’s Cathedral.
Mel revealed that she also had to Google herself another time recently, when she was at the airport.
She told Olivia: “I’d just come back from one of my “brain breaks” in Thailand and I had a massive all over tan.
“I went to go an show my passport and the guy was like ‘no’, so I thought, that’s a bit racist, I’ve just got a tan”.
The Spice Girl revealed that she then had to Google herself to prove to passport control that she was who she said she was.
“And then he let me through”, she said, giggling hysterically.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Mel B joked that nobody actually knows how old bandmate Geri Halliwell is as “no one’s seen her passport”.
She also hinted to Olivia that there will be a Spice Girls reunion but said that it won’t be at Glastonbury.
Reports had claimed that all five members of the iconic girl band would be reuniting at the legendary music festival in 2024.
Olivia’s podcast shot to number one in the charts when it launched last month.
The reality star said: ““I’ve lived many lives in the public eye and had some amazing experiences – as well as making plenty of mistakes!
“That’s why I wanted to make So Wrong, It’s Right as a place for people to be open and honest about what may look like ‘mistakes’ but were actually the right thing to do at the time.
“My guests and I have been there and got the t-shirt on this stuff, but any advice people take from this series is at their own risk!”
So far on the podcast, Olivia has chatted to Pete Wicks, fellow Love Islander Georgia Harrison, Married At First Sight expert Paul Brunson, and her sister Georgia.
