According to a source in The Sun, the Spice Girl is ‘adamant’ the two are just platonic friends.

“They became so close while on tour that there were whispers behind the scenes that they were having a secret romance.

“But Mel is adamant they’re just pals,” the source claims.

The same source claims that Jess is a lifelong Spice Girls fan, and even partied until 7am one night with Mel B during the tour.

Scary Spice popped up in many of Jess’ Instagram stories of late, perhaps implying that she’s her favourite of the Girl Power group.

Jess made headlines last week when she pulled out of headlining the Isle of Wight festival at the last minute.

This was the day after her final performance with the Spice Girls, when they performed before a sold out Wembley Stadium crowd.

Jess’ cancellation prompted the festival’s bosses serving her a lifelong ban, but Jess blamed her decision on exhaustion and mental health struggles.

The Thursday singer is believed to currently be single.

She has said she didn’t want to be ‘put in a box’ regarding her sexuality in the past and Mel B has openly discussed her bisexuality on many occasions.

The mother of three even alluded to having had an affair with her bandmate Geri Halliwell back in the 1990s.

She said as much during her Life Stories special with Piers Morgan.

Mel eventually nodded to Piers’ probing about the alleged affair and then exclaimed: “She’s going to hate me for this! She’s so bloody posh with her country house and husband!”
