The Spice Girls star revealed all on Channel 4, calling Corden "the biggest d***head celebrity” she’s ever met, and that he’s “not very nice”.
The Leeds singer made these comments during an appearance on Channel 4's series The Big Narstie Show.
She also jokingly called out one of her bandmates, Geri Halliwell, which resulted in some shocked expressions amongst the presenters and guests on the programme.
When co-host and comedian Mo Gilligan asked Mel B, “Who is the biggest d***head celebrity you’ve ever met?”, she certainly didn't hesitate nor hold back with her response.

“So, there’s a few,” she said, before firing off: “James Corden, Geri Halliwell... and me.”
Mo Gilligan replied; “But Geri – she’s your bandmate,” to which Mel B said: “I know. I love her to bits but she’s really f***ing annoying.”
The host then asked Mel B what James Corden had done to earn the reputation, to which the pop star replied: “I think you always have to be nice to the people that you work with whether it be production, camera guys, sound, lighting.

“We all work for the same thing, so you should always be nice and he hasn’t been very nice.”
Although this statement resulted in an awkward silence amongst the audience, this is not the first time James Corden's behaviour has been called out and questioned.
Earlier this year, New York restaurant owner Keith McNally described Corden as "a tiny cretin of a man" after allegedly making rude comments and ridiculous demands of his workers at Balthazar on two occasions.

In an Instagram post, McNally declared he had “86’d” Corden from his restaurant and he was no longer welcome there.
Eventually the ban was lifted after James publicly apologised on live TV during his talk show The Late Late Show. He will be leaving this show in 2023 and it is yet to be seen whether he will return to the UK or not, but if he does it may be to a frosty reception due to these damaging claims such as Mel B's circulating through the rumour mill.
In honour of National Chocolate Week, two big brands are joining forces.
Fancy a freebie? Silly question, of course you do.
Tony’s Chocolonely and Yorkshire Tea have joined forces for National Chocolate Week to ask Brits to declare themselves a ‘Melt’...yes, really.
It comes after the brands discovering a new Gen Z dunking trend, with research finding that 80% of 18–24-year-olds say chocolate is their preferred tea-dunking treat.
To understand why the perculiar pairing has become so popular, the brands recruited Associate Professor of Psychobiology, Dr Lorenzo Stafford, to investigate what happens when tea and chocolate come together.
Associate Professor, Dr Lorenzo Stafford said: "It's fascinating to see how much thought Brits put into what makes a great dunk. Flavour, texture and temperature all shape how we experience food, and the combination of hot tea with melting chocolate creates a particularly enjoyable sensory experience.
"When it comes to dunking, tea and chocolate have great chemistry so it’s no surprise young people have embraced it."
If you want to try it out for yourself, then you can for free - but there is one catch.
From Monday 19 to Friday 23 October, anyone who walks into one of Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds and says ‘I'm a Melt’ will get a free mug of Yorkshire Tea and bar of Tony's Chocolonely.
Not only that, but the first 100 customers will also get a limited-edition ‘Melt’ cap.
Yorkshire Tea & Tony’s Chocolonely said of the partnership, “Brits love their tea and their chocolate and now the science shows why. This National Chocolate Week, we’re inviting everyone to give it a go, embrace their inner Melt and discover just how well chunky chocolate and a proper brew can work together.”
Leeds Bradford Airport strikes will NOT go ahead following ‘late offer’ over pay
Clementine Hall
This weekend's strikes at Leeds Bradford Airport have been cancelled.
Around 130 workers were set to walk out this weekend, Unite said, but this has been suspended to allow air traffic controllers to consider a new pay offer.
The Unite members planning on to go on strike were a mixture of air traffic control workers, customer experience staff, security staff and cleaners.
The workers involved in the dispute had recently come out of a four-year pay deal, with some of the departments having fallen behind other airports in equivalent roles.
Pay talks have been happening since December 2025, with the airport's formal offer not going far enough to address the lack of pay parity which led to the decision to strike.
However, as of yesterday 15 October, the workers have been given new pay offers from the airport and the strikes will not take place to allow a ballot on the offers.
Air traffic controllers and hourly paid staff are being balloted separately on their respective offers.
Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said: "After receiving offers from Leeds Bradford Airport, we have suspended this week’s strike action in good faith to allow members to vote on pay deals.”
In a statement, Leeds Bradford Airport said: "While the ballot process continues with certain members of our frontline colleagues, we remain hopeful that a positive outcome can be achieved and that an agreement can be reached which works for everyone involved.
"Regardless of the outcome of this ballot, LBA has a robust contingency plan in place and will be operating as normal this weekend.
"Our focus remains on supporting a smooth and reliable experience for customers while maintaining safe and efficient airport operations."
