Mel B 'almost walks off' BBC's The One Show after 'car crash' interview

The One Show viewers have hit out at the latest "car crash" episode and blaming host Alex Jones for “losing control”.

The programme aired last night, November 24, and included guests such as actress Emily Atack, Spice Girls singer Mel B and her friend and Celebrity Gogglebox co-star Ruby Wax. The trio spoke of their new TV series Trailblazers: A Rocky Mountain Road Trip, which was inspired by explorer Isabella Bird's original 1873 book "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains".

However, during their chat last night, "chaos" ensued with Mel and Ruby Wax rolling around on the sofa "in hysterics". Viewers also did not appreciate guests continuously talking over each other and neither did Mel.

She eventually became so frustrated when the other stars continued to speak over her, that she got up to walk out of the interview, the Mirror reports. It happened when Ruby made a comment about the show, saying: "We were after the American dream and then it went rotten."

Mel replied: "Just like this interview! Don't forget to tune in guys on Monday."

She then got up to leave, before her co-stars convinced her to sit back down again. Viewers were quick to point out how host Alex Jones appeared “lost for words” during the interview.

One person wrote: "Alex Jones isn’t often lost for words but Mel B, Ruby Wax and Emily Atack have completed rinsed #TheOneShow tonight. Chaos."

Another pointed out how Alex’s co-host, Ronan Keating got the giggles and joined in with the guests, writing: "What is scary spice on?! Interrupting everyone and taking over them. Poor Ruby & Emily. Ronan Keating getting the giggles watching them."

Others were just left feeling surprised with the chaos, as one person typed: "What...is...happening... This is the biggest car crash of an interview between Mel B, Ruby Wax and Emily Atack”, and another said: “Absolute carnage on #TheOneShow tonight with Ruby Wax, Emily Atack & Mel B. Absolutely hilarious."

Another viewer wrote: "Ruby Wax and Mel B acting like idiots and making me switch off." Host Alex also seemed relieved when the interview ended and the trio left, quipping: "Oh, it feels a lot quieter in the studio now."
