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.
One of Leeds' longest-running pub will be closing.
The Cross Keys in Holbeck is a lovely little boozer.
And it's got a fair bit of history too. Dating back to the early 1800s, the pub has stood on Water Lane for more than two centuries, with its story closely tied to Holbeck's industrial past.
Back when the area was one of Leeds' major manufacturing hubs, the Cross Keys was a local drinking spot for workers from the surrounding foundries and engineering works.
The pub itself fell into disrepair and was abandoned in 1980s, before being brought back to life during a major restoration in the 2000s.
But now, The Cross Keys is closing once again.

Announcing the sad news to Instagram, the pub said: "It's with a heavy heart that we share the Cross Key's will be closing its doors on the 3rd of October.
"The whole team thank you for your support during our time in business."
In classic Leeds fashion, the comments were flooded with support from fans of the pub alongside fellow local businesses.
One comment reads: "Absolutely gutted about this. I held my fiance (now husband’s) 30th at The Cross Keys and it was excellent and the team were so helpful and hospitable. So sad to hear this."
Whilst another said: "Gutted, the home of some great memories and significant pints in my life."
So, if you've had a significant pint in The Cross Keys and wish to bid it a proper farewell, you've got until Saturday 3 October to do so.
Brand-new ‘party pub’ to take over the old Revolution site on Call Lane after £600,000 investment
Clementine Hall
We hope you're ready to party Leeds, because a 'party pub' experience is coming to Call Lane.
Following a whopping £600,000 investment, Bonnie Rogues is preparing to open in the former Revolution site in Leeds city centre that will close this month.
After a major refurbishment, Leeds’ first Bonnie Rogues venue and the sixth site for the fast- growing UK brand will open in November 2026.
Designed as an all-day-to-night social destination, Bonnie Rogues combines live music, live sport, and late-night celebrations in one immersive venue.
From big nights out to spontaneous after-work drinks and even Sunday Roasts, Bonnie Rogues aims to offer something completely different from the traditional pub experience.
Expect live performances, crowd-involved entertainment and interactive moments in an atmosphere that flows seamlessly from day to night.
Russell Quelch, CEO of NEOS Hospitality, said, “Leeds has such a strong social scene and a real appetite for experience-led venues, so we think Bonnie Rogues will fit perfectly into the city.
"It’s a concept that brings together everything people love about going out - live music, sport, food, entertainment and great atmosphere, all in one place. We’re excited to bring something new to Leeds and can’t wait to welcome guests later this year.”
The Leeds opening forms part of a wider rollout of Bonnie Rogues venues across the UK, as NEOS Hospitality continues to expand its portfolio following its acquisition of multiple Revolution and Revolución de Cuba sites earlier this year.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more.
