Victoria Beckham got her husband David to "have a word" with Mel C when she wasn't asked to sing on the star's new single.

The Spice Girls star has collaborated with former band mate and close friend Emma Bunton on her next musical offering, I Know Him So Well.

When asked if any of the other Spice Girls were ever in the frame for the collaboration, Mel revealed that one person in particular was less than impressed at the snub.

"That is so funny! Yeah, Victoria's not very happy with me, because I didn't ask her - we did have a giggle about it at the Olympics," she laughed in an interview with UK magazine Heat.

"She even got David to have a word with me! When we were in the band, I sang a lot with Emma and our voices work really well together, so she was my first choice."

Mel says it was a lot of fun being back in the studio with Emma.

"We were quite well-behaved. Post-work, that's when we usually get up to mischief - and it usually includes mojitos..." she quipped.
