 Now, however, she explained that a falling out nearly cost her her place in the group before the breakthrough debut single "Wannabe" was even released.

"Something happened quite early on in the Spice Girls journey and I had a bit of a row with Victoria at the Brits in 1996 [...] And there was a little fallout, and I was threatened to get kicked out of the band," Melanie told Entertainment Tonight.

The singer went on to explain that at that moment she was obsessed with having "control" over herself, which eventually led to an eating disorder as she struggled with worldwide fame.

This is what she explained in this interview: "And from that moment on I realized — because I didn't think it was a big deal, I didn't think I'd done anything particularly bad — and it freaked me out. I was like, I have to control myself. I have to control what I do. At this point, I was controlling what I ate. I was controlling how much exercise I was doing...I mean, I think because in a situation like that so much is out of your control, the things you can control I became very obsessive about."
