Mel B has set the record straight after she criticised a Tesco advert using her picture.
The Spice Girls singer got people talking on Monday when she took to Instagram asking to speak the to the firm's CEO 'urgently', alongside an image of the advert, which showed her in her trademark leopard print catsuit .
She captioned it: "Can the CEO OF TESCO DAVE LEWIS PLEASE CONTACT ME URGENTLY. Thank you."
Now the 44-year-old posted the image again alongside a lengthy explanation, saying there "there has been soo [sic] much fuss."
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 continued: "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."
Mel ended the post: "I am never going to stop trying to help. Thank you Tesco."
On Tuesday, 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."
Alongside the image, the ad featured the text: "Stop right now. You get 10% off two big shops a month for £7.99."
Another text bubble then reads: "Thank you very Much."
The advert was part of Tesco's latest campaign that features cultural references from the past 100 years for its 100th anniversary, with the tagline: "Prices that take you back".
