She was depressed during this filming and a week or so away from attempting suicide. Her ex husband was abusing her and she found out her dad was terminally ill. She was abusing drugs and drink to cope, not just on here but on x factor too
I've seen Mel B on Drag Race since watching this and she's a completely different person. She's been through so much and as someone who's been depressed and in abusive relationships it's really hard to feel light and make jokes when you're going through stuff like that. She mentions X Factor here too, which also means she was also struggling with cocaine addiction on top of everything else. It's remarkable she's on the show at all.
I get the feeling Richard all the times he has been on the BFQ he has been held back by Noel. I think this is the first time his team has not finished last. :)
@@alexdiviney6225 according to another comment on here she was severely depressed and attempted suicide a weeks later. Hopefully she is doing better now though.
It's important to realise that Mel B wasn't herself during this, she was severely depressed and suicidal. This was filmed a week or so before her 2014 suicidal attempt. She was being abused by her ex husband in every way, she had just found out her dad was terminally ill and she relying on drink and drugs to cope. She tried to cancel this but it was too late, so she ended up having to do it. I really don't think this should be allowed to be uploaded anywhere online. I doubt she wants to see any reminders of the dark place she was at back then
I'm not sure if you will ever get people to stop uploading it just because of the nature of the internet. But I agree that we can watch it with more compassion now that we understand what she was going through.
Although thats clearly awful, I think its a bit over the top to suggest it shouldnt be uploaded anymore. People go through dark periods, ans it does a lot to explain her disposition here, but she could just choose not to watch it.
She was, she wanted to cancel but it was too late. She was depressed and suicidal when this was filmed. A week or so later she tried to take her own life, she was being abused by her husband in real life and had just found out her dad was terminally ill
The Queen’s horse tested positive for morphine? What does that even implicate? Is it injured? Did somebody want to slow it down? Were they testing a dead horse?
At the time of this being filmed she was severely depressed, just found out her dad was terminal ill, was being abused by her ex husband, and tried to commit suicide a week after. I can’t speak for anything else she’s appeared on but for this episode you have to give her a little compassion for what she was going through
I thought the same thing, apparently she was really heavy into drug use at the time due to a death in the family or something. Love the spice girls, but Mel here was not the best site. Either way I hope she's better now.
Just so you know, she was depressed and suicidal here. This was filmed a week or two before her she tried to take her own life. She was being abused by her ex husband, found out her dad was terminally ill and she was using drugs and drink to cope. She tried to get cancelled so she didn't have to do it but it was too late
@@wrghty She says she tried to cancel. You see when I feel like absolute crap and there's an event on I really don't want to do, I have an amazing way of getting out of going....I just don't go.
@davidmurrell5143 you do know big productions like this usually have contracts that, if broken, could face legal action as well as huge fines. LEGALLY she had to attend

Frankly, the ability of the professionals to work around, and then through, the impediment, is a testament to their genuine talent.
This is Micky Flanagan's finest hour.
Richard actually taking the quiz seriously because he knew that Mel B will take care of the humour
you can't ignore that combine harvester bit though
I actually thought Richard had a bit of a boy crush on Mel B and was showing off to her in this episode 😝
Everyone is so delightful in this one and manages to play off of Mel B in completely different, but equally-fun ways.
Poor David couldn't quote a Spice Girls song to save his life. He's adorable that way.
Literally every time Jimmy said ‘Ed Miliband’ I thought it was a music act called ‘The Ed Miller Band'
Richard and David are an interesting team, they're both great reactive comics left mostly hanging
That 'ice bucket challenge' clip is among the greatest of all time.
I've come to the conclusion that Jon Snow only has one dance in his repertoire...
And it's perfect
Mel being the life of the party this episode 😂😂😂
I was about to comment on the same thing, no wonder why she was never invited back? 😣
You must go to some great parties! 😲
Time of the month maybe?
Death of the party!
I love that there was/is an edit of this video where someone has completely removed all of Mel B. Watched it once and it was hilarious
Mel B just almost refusing to get Micky's (or anybody's) humour will never not be funny.
ikr
Yeah, I find it incredibly offputting and annoying and there's a far superior version on TH-cam where she's just completely cut out
@@TooRudeProductions Ive seen that. I don't get it personally. I found her animosity funny. Its mostly played up. You can see her break character.
How pi**ed was she is my question?

Sarah Millican is a treasure, and I love her.
Now I know what the "B" is for.

Admirable but she still killed the show.
@@alexedgecombe2794 Didn't succeed, but she certainly tried. Props to Micky for keeping it together. I would've smacked the B halfway through.
If I go to work in a shitty mood and destroys everyone else's day, I'm still the twat though, even if I have an excuse ready.
Well, don't take part in a show if you have such a bunch of trouble and are in such a mood. She is very annoying and not very likeable.
He clearly wanted to tell her to fuck off near the start but good for him on not doing so
Ahhhh 2014. Remember 2014? I remember 2014.
I miss 2014.
27:20 LMFAO I wasn't expecting that
This wouldve been the greatest panel of all of the episodes if it wasnt for mel
Always great entertainment.
57:50 what a great kid, she's gonna do just fine in life!
Oh yes she can !! I love sarah !
What is going on TH-cam 6:35 in two sets of ads already
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ive been waiting for this episode.
Thanks.

acidently ran into priminister... i don't think it was acidental.
Can someone time stamp the part they all get tired of Mel big and quote spice girls song to her because I can’t see the whole thing she is too awful
I hope they didn't pay her for this. She's dreadful
Found it !! 1:33:16
@@nerd-zr8kv Perfect timestamp, I only have to watch a few minutes of this shite now!
There is a version on TH-cam, where somebody completely spliced her out, but kept Mickey in, so he just looks like a maniac talking to himself
@@TooRudeProductions And there is a parallel universe in which somebody on that video is asking where they can find the Mel B bits.
TBF, this doesn't look like Mel's sense of humour. Glad the others worked around it
Life would be damned boring if we were all alike.
is it just me, or does one particular panelist make this unpleasant to watch?
no it makes it more funny haha
@@ArronSorrell83 😂
People saying Mel was in on the joke: if she did it intentionally then it would be funny and it wasn’t.
She was an embarrassing mess and the comedians held her up to the best of their ability.

She should be proud of how well she did here, I thought she was quite funny.
"She wouldn't want reminders, so I'll post a detailed recounting of the darkest time in her life on the youtube comments."
Gross.

They are all comedians expect Mel tbf
1:36:10
Her expression takes on a really dark tone when you consider she attempted suicide a week later
Scary indeed.
why is it always spice that ruins a good evening?
Mel B was so humourless in this episode you'd think she was forced onto the set at gunpoint.
She was, she wanted to cancel but it was too late. She was depressed and suicidal when this was filmed. A week or so later she tried to take her own life, she was being abused by her husband in real life and had just found out her dad was terminally ill
@@wrghtylol
There is a far superior version where Mel B is not in it here on TH-cam
I think Mel B ruined that team
She ruined the hole show
Ah, i forgot how insufferable Mel B is at times.
Mel B is about as funny as a tumour
Mel B…. More like Mel C
The Queen’s horse tested positive for morphine? What does that even implicate? Is it injured? Did somebody want to slow it down? Were they testing a dead horse?
You don't
Why tf was she trying to stop him tossing the Ice Cream the old woman f'd up his work taking his stuff out the freezer he was sabotaged by old woman
"we just think 'thank god the global issues tend to happen in foreign lands'"....ahhh yes....simpler times.....
Why is Mel B so miserable on everything she does? Is it ego(she's too good for everything) or she's just bored all the time?

@@midnightfandoms8960 This is 100% made up bullshit. lmao
Do folks in Great Britain find Mel as insufferable as we do here in the US?
Shes a singer, not a comedian
but yes, she is a prat
yh mate 😭

@@nedbigby9694 Drugs is just an excuse. Drugs just bring out what is laying underneath.
I egg
You egg

He/She/Justin Bieber eggs.
I wonder why Mel B isn't on TV more often 🤣 How insufferable can you be on a TV show that's all about jokes?
Hate Mel B in this. I can’t express my hatred for her
There’s a version on TH-cam where someone has literally edited her out. It’s great. Empty seat and camera cuts.

Bloody hell....did Mel not read the brief??? What miserable performance.
Bought, the show down 😮
I had to stop watching this 23mins in due to Mel B. What an arse.
Mel is not my favorite. At all.
