Mel B is set to join Celebrity Juice as a new team captain later this year.
The Spice Girl, 44, will be replacing Paddy McGuinness who is unable to return for the next series due to 'scheduling conflicts'.

Speaking about the announcement, Mel said: 'I am so happy that I’m going to be part of the Celebrity Juice family and thrilled to be a captain.
'My mission is to give Keith a run for his money. Watch out. Things are going to get even more crazy.'
Paddy joined the show earlier this year after replacing original team captain Fearne Cotton who decided to depart the series to focus on other parts of her career.
Mel and Holly had a funny exchange during the singer's appearance on the game show after Keith asked the This Morning host had she ever experimented with another woman.

Turning to Holly, Keith said: 'Have you ever kissed the sweet lips of a lady?'
Holly, looking taken aback, said: 'What are you getting at? No.'
Mel then chimed in and said 'Don't lie.'
Holly, raising her voice said: 'No. What do you mean?'
Mel then mimicked her and squeaked: 'Your voice has gone really high,' to which Keith said: 'I think Holly has answered the question there.'
Mel previously raised eyebrows after she revealed she had a fling with fellow Spice Girl Geri Horner in the nineties when the group were at the height of their fame.
The singer made the claim while filming for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in March, cheekily telling the broadcaster Geri had 'great boobs' and adding: 'It just happened and we just giggled at it and that was it.'

Mel reunited with her band mates Geri, Melanie Chisholm and Emma for a 13-day UK reunion tour this summer and admitted that rehearsals were initially 'awkward' between her and Geri following the revelation.
She told Mail On Sunday's Event magazine: 'I texted her on the night I did the Piers Morgan show and explained what he’d said and how I’d answered and she was fine with it.
'The problem was it then got hyped up into a much bigger story, and it didn’t help that we were just about to begin rehearsals.
'It was awkward. We hadn’t been back in the situation of being together every single day, being on stage, rehearsing, getting ourselves back into Spice Girls mode, and then all the headlines about our relationship were thrown into the mix, which was pretty bad timing.'

'We have all grown up. Geri and I were always the loud, bossy ones, Mel C and Emma were much quieter, but we’ve all changed. Mel C is so much more chilled and sorted and knows exactly what she wants, as is Emma.
'Geri is different. She's married, she’s got kids, she’s not the same outrageous Ginger she used to be. That took a bit of getting used to for me. I’ve changed. I’ve been through ten years of a deeply abusive marriage.
'I’ve lived a lie for a decade and I’ve come out of it wanting to be so honest and so up front about everything.'
Celebrity Juice returns to ITV2 in autumn.
