Mel B's surprised her kids don't know any of her iconic hit Spice Girls songs

Mel B was left in shock when her children didn't recognise one of the Spice Girl iconic hits.

The star posted the funny video to her Instagram story where she asked her daughters Angel, 15, and Madison, 10 what song some lyrics were from.

However, to her surprise they guessed that 'Who do you think you are' was actually a hit by Lady Gaga.

Mel was applying her makeup while wearing leopard print pajamas as she said: "So you just said who do yo think you are'...and I said 'some kind of superstar' and then you said 'is it Lady Gaga singing that?'"

While she was sitting on the floor tying up her shoes Angel then said: "Is it Lady Gaga?"

But Mel quickly shut that possibility down so her children guessed Adele instead.

Mel and the person recording the video finished off the lyrics to the 1997 song called Who Do You Think You Are but Angel was still convinced that Lady Gaga was the artist responsible for the smash hit.

But eventually it seemed to click after a few more seconds as Angel said: "It's you! It's the Spice Girls!" as someone else in the room joked: "Only took us half the song."

As she posted the funny video, Mel wrote over the top: "My kids have no clue when it comes to Spice Girls songs."

She added: "So Spice Girls may have sold over 100 million records but I think I need to buy one more for my kids."

Mel was recently awarded an MBE for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.

She attended the ceremony in London accompanied by her proud mother Andrea.

Mel 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 her award following the ceremony, Mel said: "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.

"So I’m their voice because we’ve all been through exactly the same story, so I don’t take it as it’s my award because it’s our award because we’ve survived."

Spice Girls pal Victoria Beckham congratulated Mel on her achievement as well as designing the dress Mel wore at the ceremony.

Victoria wrote on her Instagram: "I’m so proud of @officialmelb receiving her well-deserved MBE.

"Men’s work as a patron for @womens_aid raising awareness for domestic violence and supporting vulnerable women is so important."
