Mel B was cut from the “An Audience with Adele” special for making an “awkward as hell” joke about a vibrator.
Adele, 33, performed songs from her new album, 30, and older tracks such as Hello for the pre-recorded ITV special on Sunday.
The former Spice Girl had been “tasked with asking a question about the best gift Adele had ever received,” a source told the Sun, but she decided to talk her kop se k@k, which didn’t go down well with the UK TV network.
“When the cameras were on her, she said she felt silly asking it,” the source said.
“Then she made a a joke and said she could answer the question for Adele and said it was a vibrator.”
Unsurprisingly, Mel B’s joke didn’t make the final edit, Adele was apparently unfazed and brushed the whole thing off.
“No one really laughed, but Adele made a wisecrack about it and moved on,” the source told the newspaper, adding that the Wannabe singer was just being “her usual brilliant self.”
ITV reportedly was not upset with Mel B, 46, and simply made the decision to remove her cameo, knowing that millions of families would be tuning in to see Adele sing.
“There’s no bad blood or issue between them,” the source said. “ITV just couldn’t air it because not only was it awkward as hell — it was a family show and there would be kids watching.”
And they were right: Sunday night’s special drew in a whopping 5.5 million viewers, according to reports.
This isn’t the only drama Adele has had since dropping her latest album last Friday.
The Grammy winner reportedly exited an interview with an Australian TV host who admitted he hadn’t listened to her new record before their chat.
