Mum-of-one Mel recounted the incident for the first time on the ‘How To Fail’ podcast on Wednesday.
(14. 09. 22) She said: “I felt violated, I felt very vulnerable, I felt embarrassed and then I felt unsure.
“I do want to talk about it because it has affected me. But I buried it. “So here we were, the eve of the first ever Spice Girls show.
“So I treat myself to a massage in the hotel and what happened to me, I kind of buried immediately because there were other things to focus on. “I didn’t want to make a fuss but also I didn’t have time to deal with it. “Because I didn’t deal with it at the time, I realised that I allowed that to be buried for years and years and years and then when I was writing the book it came to me in a dream.
I woke up and it was in my mind. “And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I haven’t even thought about having that in the book’. “Then of course I had to think, ‘Do I want to reveal this?’ And I just thought, actually I think it’s really important for me to say it and to finally deal with it and process it.
And for other people. ” Mel added she got up and left the room before the attack escalated, but said it has had a devastating lasting effect on her. She said: “Terrible things happen all the time and this situation wasn’t as bad as it could have been.
