Mel B stormed out of an interview on Australian television after she was asked about her alleged feud with Iggy Azalea.

The former Spice Girl, who is currently a judge on the Australian version of The X Factor alongside the rapper, was not happy when the hosts of Channel 7’s Sunrise continued to press her on the issue.

"Do you think (Iggy)'s scared and a bit threatened by you coming in?" asked host Natalie Barr.

“God, no. Look, she's got a massive career, she's highly successful and we get on,” Mel replied.

Clearly annoyed at the line of questioning, she added: “I know you're trying to get some rivalry going between me and Iggy, but there isn't any.”

When asked if Azalea would make a good Spice Girl, Mel hit back: “There's only five Spice Girls in the whole entire world and that's it, so zip it.”

Things got even more awkward at the end of the interview, when the hosts wrapped things up by saying:

“Don't miss Mel on X Factor, 7:30 tonight — how will she and Iggy get on?"

At that point the British star jumped up and stormed out of the studio in front of the shocked presenters.

“Oh gosh, what is all this? I'm leaving! We get on FINE by the way!" she shouted on the way out.
