Mel B has revealed if any of her fellow Spice Girls would ever take on Celebrity Bear Hunt.

Speaking to MailOnline at the new Netflix show’s screening on Tuesday night, the singer, 49, even dished on what Victoria Beckham would say to the show. 

Mel is among 12 celebrities taking part in the survival series – helmed by Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls – which was filmed last year in Costa Rica.

She formed the Spice Girls with Victoria, Geri Horner, Melanie C and Emma Bunton – but wasn’t sure if any of them would be brave enough to do the show.

The star said at the event: ‘None of them. None of them. They’ll be like, ‘ewwww’. 

‘I thought I was going to be like that but I had to switch my mentality. Because you are in a jungle with strangers and you’re all sleeping side by side with each other not knowing how the day is going to start.

‘It is brilliant but it’s mental.

Asked if she thinks Victoria, 50, might sign up for series two, Mel B said: ‘You know what you can never say never.’

The stars of new Netflix series Celebrity Bear Hunt pulled out all the stops as they attended the premiere at the Odeon West End in central London on Tuesday night.

The show’s host Holly Willoughby looked as stylish as ever in a gorgeous black plunging gown as she made her arrival to the red carpet along with the celebrities taking part in the show including glamorous Lottie Moss, Una Healy and Mel.

The former This Morning star, 43, has returned to screens for the new show after taking a break from TV following her departure from the ITV daytime show.

She showed off her elegant style in the sleek £1,800 number by London-based designer David Koma which featured velvet detailing and was teamed with matching simple heels to boost her height. 

She was joined by the show’s star and survival expert Bear Grylls, 50, who looked ready for action in all his gear and later pulled off an abseiling stunt.

The compeтιтion show sees a group of unlikely celebrities get dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world’s most fearsome predators – Bear.

As Bear puts them through their paces, those who fail to impress will face the dreaded ‘Bear Hunt’.

The Bear Hunt is said to be a brutal game of cat and mouse where they’ll be hunted down by Bear himself and, if captured, face elimination from the show.

The star said at the event: 'None of them. None of them. They'll be like, 'ewwww'. 'I thought I was going to be like that but I had to switch my mentality'

The Saturdays singer Una Healy, 43, meanwhile opted for a dark red vinyl dress covered in sparkly detailing.

Spice Girl Mel showed off her toned legs in a grey mini skirt which she teamed with a long camel coat.

Steph McGovern wore an all-black outfit for the occasion and sported a wrist support. 

It comes after Bear admitted Holly was very nervous ahead of filming for the new show as she embarked on her TV comeback.

She took some time away from screens and the red carpet, aside from her role on Dancing On Ice, after a ‘graphic’ kidnap and murder plot against her was revealed back in 2023. 

However the star is now throwing herself back into the spotlight with her most adventurous show yet, Celebrity Bear Hunt. 

And her co-star Bear has explained just how nervous Holly was as he confessed: ‘She was was in at the deep end.’ 

Speaking on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with The National Lottery on Virgin Radio UK on Tuesday morning, Bear chatted about working with Holly as he said: ‘She was a dream.

‘I’ve never really worked with anyone else like that before. She’s just gentle, heart led. She was nervous. She was in at the deep end.

Asked if she thinks Victoria, 50, might sign up for series two, Mel B said: 'You know what you can never say never'

‘What a great girl, and she added such a beautiful bit of empathy and love, a sort of warmth to the celebs when they’re back at camp because they were nervous. Everyone’s kind of high octane in it. 

‘And she was great. She was great.’

Show bosses have pulled out all the stops with their latest line-up which features Spice Girl Mel B, Strictly judge Shirley Ballas, Boris Becker and model Lottie Moss.

Also joining the A-list line-up is Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Steph McGovern, Una Healy, Kila Bokinni, Leomie Anderson and Danny Cipriani.
