Mel B joins The Talk panel tonight on TalkTV after being honoured with MBE

Mel B will be joining the panel on The Talk on Thursday night to discuss the hot topics of the day.

The Spice Girl, 46, joins the likes of Jeremy Kyle, Isabel Oakeshott, James Max and Nicola Thorp as they debate the most interesting stories.

The Talk is a brand new prime-time show on TalkTV which covers topics from the UK and around the world.

Mel B joining the panel comes after she received an MBE for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.

She was greeted by Prince William, 39, who handed her the Member of the Order of the British Empire medal – which she later proudly posed with outside the palace.

Speaking to the Press Association about the MBE, Mel explained: “I never thought I would be here getting this MBE for the work I’ve been doing.

“It’s amazing to have but it’s not just for me – it’s for all those other women.

“Especially because of Covid, there’s been such an epidemic of domestic violence, that’s been completely on the rise, and you know I’ve got an army of women behind me that need help and need to be heard."

She even wore a dress designed by none other than her close pal Victoria Beckham - who gushed over her friend on her Instagram Stories.

The Talk is usually fronted by Sharon Osbourne, who had to step back to care for her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, after he contracted coronavirus.

Ozzy's family have been increasingly concerned about the musician - who has a rare form of Parkinson's disease, Parkin 2, which he has had since birth.

Speaking to The Mirror about Sharon's concerns for her husband, an insider revealed that the former reality TV star dropped everything to be with her other half as soon as she heard of his worrying diagnosis.

“She’s beside herself with worry. Ozzy was badly paranoid about getting Covid because of everything that he has been through," the insider revealed.

"Now he’s got it, he’s panicked and feeling awful.

"He heard about Covid spreading on surfaces and got so paranoid that he got all takeaway deliveries coming into the house sprayed outside with anti-bacterial treatments.”

Viewers can watch The Talk tonight on TalkTV at 9pm and live and on demand on connected devices and at Talk.TV
