Mel B has revealed that she was once in a longterm relationship with a woman.

In a new interview, the former Spice Girl – who married her current partner Stephen Belafonte in 2007 – has spoken openly about her love life before she met her husband of seven-years.

“I did have a four-year relationship with a woman,” she told The Guardian. “But I’ve been very happily married for seven years to a penis. Haha! An amazing guy.

“I’ve definitely not been shy or been one to hold back. If I wanted to try something, I did. I had a girlfriend,” she added.

When asked whether she has an open relationship with Belafonte, she replied: “No, me and my husband are very tight and solid. But I will be the first one to compliment a woman, to say to my husband, ‘Oh my God, look at her legs’, or, ‘Doesn’t she look stunning?’ I do think women are gorgeous. Crazy but gorgeous.”

Meanwhile, earlier this month (November) former X Factor contestant Jack Walton threw shade at Mel B, saying “I guess she’s a big deal” – find out more here.
