Awkward! Mel B mortified after she's introduced as Mel C at X Factor audition

It’s probably not the first time it has happened.
But there’s little doubt that Melanie B was still left mortified after she was introduced as Mel C at the X Factor auditions.
One of the production team introduced the wrong Spice Girl to the crowds at the Manchester leg of the auditions yesterday.
He told the crowds: 'Please welcome Mel C!'

The mistaken identity meant that fans were expecting Sporty Spice to appear, instead of Melanie Brown.
One onlooker told the Daily Star: 'It was a bit awkward, everyone looked around for Mel C. The poor guy realised he'd made a mistake but Mel didn't look to pleased.'
Melanie Brown, or Scary Spice as she was known in her girl band days, didn't let the blundering production worker put her off and she took her place on the panel.

The 37-year-old has been stepping in to the vacant judge seat alongside permanent judges Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh.
TV bosses have failed to find a permanent boss after Dannii Minogue turned down an offer for the job.
Leona Lewis and Mel's former Spice Girl colleague Geri Halliwell have also been part of the panel during the auditions stage of the competition.

Mel has spoken out about her excitement at being part of the team in  Manchester.
She told The Sun: 'I’m so, so, so excited to be a guest judge in Manchester. Being a northern girl, I believe there’s lots of amazing talent in the north of England. I am coming to find the winner.
'I love my job as a judge on The X Factor Australia, but it will be great to sit on the panel in the UK. Britain is, and always will be, my home and first love.'
The singer also voiced her dismay because the Spice Girls were not included in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert over the long weekend and took to Twitter to voice her feelings.
She told followers: 'Makes me sooo sad spice girls wasn't part of the queens jubilee, break my heart big time, i was so up for it, watched some of it on tv, amazing!'
