Mel B has spoken out after a dispute with Tesco over an advert.
The Spice Girl hit out on Instagram on Monday (November 11) sharing an advertisement which showed the supermarket giant was using her image to promote its new Clubcard Plus.
An image of Mel wearing a print catsuit at The Brit Awards was placed on a billboard with the text: "Stop right now. You can get 10% off two big shops a month for £7.99."
The singer captioned the photo: "Can the CEO OF TESCO DAVE LEWIS PLEASE CONTACT ME URGENTLY. Thank you."
Mel has now decided to set the record straight and said there had been a "miscommunication", Birmingham Live reports .
Posting again on Instagram, Mel said: "For the record, I just want to let everyone know about my Tesco Clubcard Plus involvement because there has been soo much fuss about it and soo many unfounded rumours.
"There was NEVER any issue about me being unhappy with my image being used and there was NEVER any issue about Tesco being given permission to use the image.
"I did this campaign for Women's Aid to raise awareness and to raise funds.
"There was a miscommunication between some of the parties dealing with it but luckily Tesco has been amazing."
She added: "Women's Aid sadly lost funding a few weeks ago which was why I decided to do this campaign. I'm really pleased that Tesco understands how important Women's Aid is to me, and has agreed to match my fee in donation to the charity.
"This money is a game-changer for them. It will keep their live chat line running for the next six months and all over Christmas This service literally saves lives. One in four women are affected by domestic violence.
"I am never going to stop trying to help. Thank you Tesco."
A Tesco spokesman said: "Here at Tesco we are really big fans of Mel B and were excited to feature her photo in our campaign.
"We had authorisation to use this image, but we're sorry Mel B is unhappy so we've stopped using it."
