MEL B stormed off a live broadcast of America’s Got Talent, after drenching Simon Cowell for joking about her marriage woes.
The ex-Spice Girl, 42, threw water over the TV mogul when he made the sarcastic quip while criticising a magic act.
He told an escapologist whose trick flopped: “I kind of imagine this would be like Mel B’s wedding night.
“A lot of anticipation — not much promise or delivery.”
Millions across the US saw Scary Spice, who is locked in a lurid divorce battle, go berserk.
Embarrassed Cowell, 57, tried to put on a brave face as she flounced off, leaving him with a dripping shirt.
Seething Mel returned to the judging panel after the commercial break.
Last night she insisted Cowell deserved the soaking. She told how his joke followed a poignant act that preceded her meltdown — about fathers battling cancer.
Mel fumed: “I just lost my dad and then he goes and says something stupid like that, so then I got angry.
How do you know what my wedding night was like all those years ago?”
Her bitter divorce from film producer Stephen Belafonte, 42, has involved claims he made sex tapes and blackmailed her into threesomes.
