Here’s the scoop: Mel B, the fiery and unforgettable member of the Spice Girls, made headlines when she abruptly walked off the TODAY show set on Monday, March 25. What happened? Well, it seems our Scary Spice couldn’t help but spill some tea to co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb about a potential reunion project involving the iconic girl group.
Big Questions About the Spice Girls’ Future
Mel was grilled by Jenna, who asked if the Spice Girls had any big projects in the works. Jenna, always the enthusiastic one at 42 years old, playfully urged Mel to "break the news." Mel, now 48, giggled and admitted, "I can’t because I always get told off because I’m the blabbermouth." But she couldn’t resist teasing the audience with a hint: "You know, we are working — I think I said this to you before, us five are working on something that’s going to be announced soon." Can you hear the fans collectively holding their breath?
A Nod to *NSYNC’s Reunion
Jenna then brought up the recent reunion of *NSYNC, who performed at Justin Timberlake’s Los Angeles concert earlier this month. She joked that she hoped the Spice Girls would be the next legendary group to reunite. Mel, ever the charmer, promised, "The project is going to be really good, and the fans are going to be really happy." Jenna, excited as ever, couldn’t resist asking, "Can we go see you on tour?" Mel began to answer, "You’re going to be able to …" but then stopped herself mid-sentence, realizing she might have said too much.

Mel B Exits Stage Left
Realizing she might be in trouble for spilling the beans, Mel decided it was time to make a quick exit. She joked, "Oh, I’m going to get in trouble. I’m not saying anything. OK, bye!" and bolted off the stage. It was a moment that had viewers both laughing and intrigued. Even though Mel left the set, Jenna and Hoda weren’t mad — they were thrilled. "That felt like maybe there’s gonna be a tour," Hoda exclaimed, clapping her hands. "That felt like a maybe!"
Just as Jenna and Hoda were wrapping up the segment, Mel decided to return to the stage. Jenna, seizing the moment, said, "We can’t wait to see you on tour," which made Mel clap her hands over her face in mock horror. Clearly, the pressure of keeping secrets is tough even for someone as fearless as Mel.
But Mel isn’t the only one who’s walked off the TODAY show set recently. Kelly Rowland also made headlines last month when she left abruptly after an interview with Savannah Guthrie. Reports suggested dissatisfaction with the dressing rooms backstage or the nature of the questions asked, but nothing was confirmed. It seems stars have their limits, and Mel and Kelly both know how to make an exit.
A Romantic Side Note
Before all the drama unfolded, Mel shared a sweet moment about her personal life. She revealed that her fiancé, Rory McPhee, proposed to her at her favorite hotel, Cliveden House in Berkshire, England. "He went to my dad’s grave, so he told me afterwards, and asked for my hand in marriage," Mel said with a smile. "I mean, not that my dad could say anything … But it was so lovely." How romantic is that?
